David Beckham and Sachin Tendulkar watched the match from the stands, where Kohli broke Tendulkar's record of 49 tons with his 50th ODI hundred. Virat Kohli was overcome with emotion as he walked out to the field at the Wankhede Stadium following India's historic 397-run victory over New Zealand in the World Cup 2023 semi-finals.

The 'Kohli, Kohli' chants were loud at the Wankhede as Virat Kohli reached the biggest milestone of 50 ODI hundreds in the high-profile semi-final. Meanwhile, Kohli is experiencing another slump in his form, managing only 192 runs in 5 Tests at home against Bangladesh (99 runs in 2 Tests) and New Zealand (93 runs in 3 Tests).

Virat Kohli form has raised questions 

Questions have been raised regarding veteran batters Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma after India lost the New Zealand Test series 0–3, becoming the first team to be whitewashed at home in a three-Test series. The five-Test Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT 2024) series in Australia will be the next time we witness Kohli playing for India. On November 22, the series gets underway, with the first Test taking place in Perth.
