Virat Kohli smashed legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar’s record (49) for most ODI centuries by hitting his 50th ton in the format. However, the former India may not have achieved the landmark if the DRS review went against him on the first ball of his innings.

In the ninth over, the prolific batter missed New Zealand pacer Tim Southee’s delivery which hit his thigh pad. The Kiwis appealed for LBW, but the umpires ruled him as ‘not out’.
New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson opted for a review and it was clear that the century-getter was not out.
Anushka Sharma, who is one of the spectators at Wankhede Stadium, looked tense as the whole stadium and millions of viewers watching at home awaited the decision.
She was utterly pleased as the third umpire’s decision went in favour of her husband.
