  "account": "Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), criticized an umpire's decision during a Virat Kohli innings that saw the Indian batter score his 48th ODI century. The controversy arose on October 19, 2023, during India's match against Bangladesh in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup, held in Pune. Dipke took to social media platform X to express his discontent over the umpiring decision, stating that the referee had allowed Kohli to achieve his milestone, drawing a comparison to former Sri Lanka captain Arjuna Ranatunga's earlier criticism of the International Cricket Council (ICC) and its relationship with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). He emphasized that the pursuit of a century should not influence an official's decision during a match, arguing that umpires should apply rules impartially. The incident occurred in the 42nd over, when a delivery from Nasum Ahmed was not called wide by umpire Richard Kettleborough. Kohli eventually completed his hundred with a six off Nasum Ahmed and went on to score 103 runs as India won the match by seven wickets.",
