Ex-PAK captain Salman Butt reacts to Shastri’s remarks on Ashwin

Former Team India head coach Ravi Shastri opened up on Ravichandran Ashwin’s remarks over the former’s praise of Kuldeep Yadav in 2018, when he called the left-arm spinner India’s ‘best’ overseas spinner. Ashwin had revealed in an interview earlier this week that he felt “crushed” by then-head coach comments and Shastri said yesterday that his job was not to “butter everyone’s toast.”

Former Pakistan captain Salman Butt has now opined on the issue, insisting that it does “hurt” a player when someone from their own team criticises them in public statements.

“Ravi Shastri has said that he’s a coach who doesn’t butter his players; he wants to get them to work. Even if the players get hurt, he wants them to prove him wrong. He praised Kuldeep and Ashwin thought he was pushed under the bus

“Now, as a player, you get to hear things like these. Obviously, you try your best but when you don’t deliver the performances you’re expected of, you have to endure some criticism. When someone from outside criticises you, you don’t really care much about it but when someone from your own team says things like that, it does hurt a bit. Same happened with Ashwin,” Butt said on his official YouTube channel.

“He went to his family and talked about it and eventually he coped with it.”

However, the former Pakistan captain also said that Shastri accomplished in his job to bring the best out of Ashwin.

“But according to Shastri, the result of those comments was that Ashwin worked on his fitness and improved his game. He now believes Ashwin is world-class. So I agree with Shastri when he says that his job is to state facts,” said Butt.

Ashwin is currently the highest wicket-taker in Test cricket in 2021, with 52 dismissals to his name in merely eight games.

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.
