‘Virat is the most impactful player across all formats’: Former Pakistan captain Salman Butt

When you talk of the greatest batsmen produced by Indian cricket, Virat Kohli’s name has to be among the top three. If Sunil Gavaskar dominated the 1970s and 80s as India’s premier batsmen, Sachin Tendulkar stood out as the country’s most complete batsman in the 1990s and 200s. Similarly, from the current generation, it is Kohli who has been on a run-scoring spree for as long as one can remember and is considered the best batsman of the modern-day era.

When you talk of the Fab 5 batsmen of the current generation, from India, it’s always Kohli. Former cricketers and cricket pundits believe it. Kohli may have gone a year and a half without an international century, but there has been no shortage of runs from the bat of the India captain. As Kohli gears up to lead India for the second time in England, he has received quite some praise from former Pakistan captain Salman Butt, who has called Kohli the best all-format player of the current era.

“I believe Virat Kohli is the most impactful batsman in the world across all formats. There is no doubt about that. His performances speak for themselves and have turned the results in his team’s favour,” Butt said during a Q/A session on his YouTube channel.

It is hard to argue with Butt. Kohli averages 52.37 in Tests, 59.07 in ODIs and 52.65 in T20Is, making him one of the very few batsmen from today’s generation to average in excess of 50 in all three formats. Besides, no one has more international centuries than Kohli, who has 70 tons across formats. With 43 hundreds, Kohli is next only to the great Tendulkar in terms of the most ODI centuries. Besides, Kohli’s tally of 12169 runs makes him the second-highest Indian ODI run-getter after Tendulkar.

Kohli holds the world record for being the fastest batsman to 8000, 9000, 10000, 11000 and 12,000 runs in ODIs. Among Indian batsmen, Kohli has the best ever Test rating (937 points), ODI rating (911 points) and T20I rating (897 points).

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.
