Virat Kohli was just a whisker away from his 54th ODI century, scoring 93 runs to lead India to a four-wicket triumph against New Zealand in Vadodara. While he bagged the Player of the Match title, he felt a bit odd about the crowd cheering for his teammates' wickets, saying, 'I honestly don’t feel good about it.' Plus, he zoomed past Kumar Sangakkara to become the second-highest run-scorer in international cricket!
