Once the former India captain had hit 81, he turned down at least five possible singles. His batting partner, Rahul, later explained why he made this choice. Rahul said, “He (Kohli) wasn’t sure; he said, ‘It wouldn’t look good to just take the single.'” It’s still the World Cup, which is a big event, and I don’t want to look like I’m only focused on that. Rahul went on to say, “But I said, ‘I mean, we’re almost there, and it looks like we’ll win easily, so why not go for the milestone if you can?'” He finally took that advice to heart. I also had no plans to take those singles. Rahul also scored 34 runs and was not out yet.
