‘If Virat does not score century then we think he has not made any runs’: Former Pakistani Cricketer lauds India captain

Former Pakistan batsman Salman Butt feels what Virat Kohli has achieved in his professional cricket career is phenomenal and backs the India captain to soon end his century drought. Kohli has 70 international centuries, most by any batsman of the modern era; however, the India captain last scored an ODI century in August of 2019 and a Test ton three months later and the topic of Kohli going without a century in more than a year and a half has got people talking.

Butt, speaking in his YouTube video, was asked whether ‘Virat can cross his mental barriers at ICC events like World Test Championship and T20 World Cup,’ to which the former Pakistan batsman responded saying ‘why not.’ With the kind of prolific batting Kohli is known for, Butt feels the India captain may end his century drought as early as the next tournament – the World Test Championship final against New Zealand which starts June 18 at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton.

 

“He’s broken so many barriers already. Who could have thought that a boy in his age will get 70 centuries? Who would have that he would become as fit as he is today, or carry the kind of form that he has? He has a strike rate of 90 in chases, an average of over 50 in all three formats. Who would have thought? These are barriers he’s already crossed. Who can stop him from crossing this barrier? In fact, he can do it in the next match or the next series itself,” Butt said.

As far as Kohli’s record in crunch ICC ties are concerned, the India captain would want to improve his numbers. In the last two ICC knockout matches that India have played, Kohli has scored 5 (Champions Trophy final vs Pakistan in 2017) and 1 (World Cup 2019 semi-final against New Zealand).

“He hasn’t scored a century in more than a year but look at the runs he’s still scored. If he doesn’t get a century, we think he hasn’t scored at all. I think he has all the credentials to do it and it’s just a matter of time,” said Butt

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
