Fans React After Umpire Richard Kettleborough Adjudges Nasum Ahmed's Ball to Virat Kohli As Legal Despite It Being Wide During IND vs BAN CWC 2023 Match (Watch Video)
Fans were pleasantly surprised when Richard Kettleborough didn't give wide to a delivery that didn't look legal by any means and provided Virat Kohli an opportunity to score his hundred.
India beat Bangladesh in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 clash at Pune to ensure their fourth victory of the competition. In answer to Bangladesh's target of 257, India cruised to the finishing line riding on a brilliant century by Virat Kohli. In the last over, with only two runs required, Nasum Ahmed bowled a wide ball in his first delivery of the over. But umpire Richard Kettleborough didn't adjudge it as a wide ball and considered it as a legal delivery. Virat Kohli hit a six in the third ball of the over and completed his century as well as brought up the victory of Team India. Fans reacted on the decision of Kettleborough on social media.
