After Virat Kohli's match-winning ton in the World Cup semi-final, former Australia pacer Simon O'Donnell criticized New Zealand players who helped Kohli when he suffered cramps, saying "I had a problem a couple of times last night. Virat Kohli gets cramp, they're (NZ) going over to help him." He questioned, "Why would you go and help Virat Kohli when he's tearing your country apart?" O'Donnell indicated, "Under no circumstances should you have gone within 20 meters of Virat Kohli when he had a cramp." He added, "Stop hitting us for sixes and fours. Go and pick your own bat up while you've got a sore hamstring and a cramp." O'Donnell's comments came amid wide praise for Kohli's ton and NZ's sportsmanlike gesture in the crucial knockout match.
