Former Australian fast bowler Simon O'Donnell has criticized New Zealand's decision to assist Virat Kohli during the World Cup semi-final against India. O'Donnell questioned the decision to aid Kohli, who scored his 50th ODI century. India emerged victorious by 70 runs, thanks to Kohli's century and a seven-wicket haul by pacer Mohammed Shami. O'Donnell questioned the spirit of the game, stating that the spirit of the game should be playing within the laws in a World Cup semi-final.
