Virat Kohli's unbeaten century sealed India's fourth win from four World Cup matches as the hosts defeated Bangladesh by seven wickets on Thursday with the star batsman closing in on Sachin Tendulkar's record for ODI hundreds. 

Kohli reached his century and ended the match in style with a six against spinner Nasum Ahmed when he needed three runs to complete his century and India two more runs to reach a target of 257. While Kohli shone with the bat, the captain Rohit Sharma (48) and Shubman Gill (52) also contributed to India's chase. Meanwhile, number 4 batter Shreyas Iyer fell for 19 runs.

The dismissals of both Gill and Iyer were poor as both the batters threw their wicket away and former India captain Sunil Gavaskar was unhappy over the intent of the batters.

"He (Shreyas Iyer) lost his patience. He was batting on 19, threw his wicket away. Shubman Gill (was batting on) fifty (52), threw his wicket away," said Gavaskar on Star Sports.

"Kohli never does that. Kohli will seldom ever throw his wicket away. He makes you earn his wicket. And that is exactly what you need. When he got to 70-80, realising that he has an opportunity to get to a hundred and why not? Hundreds don't come every day," added the former India captain.
