‘I feel proud when someone is comparing me with Virat Kohli’: Pakistan Captain Babar Azam
For several years, Virat Kohli, Steve Smith, Joe Root and Kane Williamson had been headlining the ‘Fab 4’ of battin the modern-era. However, over the last three years, Babar Azam with his consistent performance in all three formats, has entered the fray to make it the Fab Five. The Pakistan captain has been piling up runs, averaging 42.5 in Tests, 56.83 in ODIs and 43.2 in T20Is.
As a result of his impressive performances, clamours of his comparison with Kohli have grown. Many believe that Babar is of the same calibre as Kohli and although the Pakistan captain, being younger to his Indian counterpart, may not share the glittering records that Kohli possesses, he seems to be on the path to greatness. Babar recently overtook Kohli to become the fastest batsmen to score 2000 T20Is runs.
A comparison between the two has always been a topic of hot discussion, with Babar finally opening up on how he perceives people drawing similarities between the two. The Pakistan captain called Kohli one of world’s best and that he feels proud when people mention him and in the same sentence as the India captain.
“Virat Kohli is one of the best players in the world. He has performed everywhere and in big matches. When people compare us, I don’t feel pressure, I feel proud because they are comparing me with such a big player,” Babar told Khaleej Times.
Babar weighed in further on the comparison, believing that while he and Kohli are two completely different players with unique styles, the Pakistan captain does see the India skipper as motivation to raise the level of his game. Calling Kohli a proven performer, Babar said his aim is to perform more regularly and win matches for his country like Kohli does.
“Personally, I don’t think there should be a comparison, but people do that and I feel happy. So my aim is to perform the way he does and help my team win matches and make Pakistan proud. Look, we are different players. I have my style of playing and he has his style. So I try to perform to the best of my ability,” explained Babar.

What monkey fled with a bag containing evidence in it: Read full story
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.
