Very poor umpiring it is appearing like match officials are trying to help Kohli for century

Yesterday India outplayed Bangladesh in all departments. Excellent bowling from Bumrah, Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav on a flat pitch of Pune. Brilliant batting of Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Rahul, Gill. But it looked very odd. Last 5 overs batsmen were not taking singles. Rahul just blocking balls. Umpire deliberately not giving wide to see that Kohli gets a century. Brilliant innings of Kohli was more than century. A cricketer of his esteem having more than 47 centuries wasting the last few overs for a century like a new cricketer brings the dignity of cricket down. I have not seen these events during Sachin's career or Gavaskar's career.

I didn't think that it was deliberate.
I just saw the highlights later only and not the last few overs live.
May be Kohli and Rahul wanted to avoid getting out.
I don't think that the umpire took the deliberate decision.
