The ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 has its share of controversies both on and off the field. Controversies are often part and parcel of major sporting events, and this was no different. From time out to dodgy umpiring decisions, fan troubles, criticism of the board, to pitch issues, debates, and discussions ran the course in the media and among fans alike. Ten cricketing nations battled for glory, with Australia ending as the champions for the sixth time by beating India, who were unscathed until the semis. Besides some exceptional performances, individual shows, and breathtaking cricket, controversies played a part. On the same note, we decode the top controversies that shook the ICC World Cup 2023 in India.
VIRAT KOHLI SLAMS A TON MARRED BY A CONTROVERSIAL WIDE DECISION AGAINST BANGLADESH
The India versus Bangladesh clash in Pune sparked a disputable moment when spinner Nasum Ahmed tried to bowl a wide ball in the 42nd over in an attempt to prevent Virat Kohli from reaching his 48th ODI century. India were 255/3 at the end of 41 overs and needed only two runs to seal their fourth-consecutive victory. Ace batter Kohli was batting at 97 and needed three more runs to slam a hundred. However, Ahmed's first ball of the 42nd over was past the batter on the leg side. However, it was interestingly not given as a wide by umpire Richard Kettleborough. The moment led to disbelief among several fans and pundits alike. Many felt Kohli was backed by the umpire to get to a ton. However, the third ball of the same over saw Kohli smash the ball for a six to register an unbeaten century and guide India to a seven-wicket win.
