NEW DELHI: Virat Kohli expressed his delight in experiencing the "special feeling" of competing in a World Cup on home soil after his unbeaten century led India to a seven-wicket victory over Bangladesh, bringing him within reach of Sachin Tendulkar's record for one-day international centuries.
Kohli's 48th one-day international century left him just one short of matching India's great Tendulkar's historic record of 49 centuries at this level. He reached this milestone with a shot that cleared the boundary for six off spinner Nasum Ahmed, sealing a great finish as India achieved a target of 257 with over eight overs to spare.
