Virat Kohli might be winning hearts but there are some who do not approve of the run machine's stunning 100 against Bangladesh in Pune. 

A lot of netizens are trolling the former Indian captain for allegedly putting his milestone ahead of India's victory. Notably, #selfish was also trending on X after Virat Kohli completed his 48th ODI ton with a six.


When Kohli was 26 runs away from his century India needed as many for victory. The chase master hit a 29 off 17 facing every single delivery with KL Rahul declining singles on offer. After the game, the wicket-keeper batter revealed, 'I denied single to Virat Kohli, he said it would be bad if you won't take singles, people will think I'm playing for personal milestone. But I said we are comfortably winning, you complete your century.
