Indian Legend says that Shubhman Gill has temperament to become a great player

He may be just seven Tests old but Shubman Gill has already been earmarked for future greatness by the legendary Sunil Gavaskar. And this when he is yet to register a century in his India career.

Gill made his Test debut during India’s epoch-making Australia tour of 2020-21 when they bounced back to win a four-match series 2-1. Since then, the 21-year-old has logged 378 runs including three half-centuries with his stroke-making and temperament delighting experts.

The closes Gill came to three figures was in the Melbourne Test when he struck 91 and thus playing a vital role in India winning the contest.

“He (Gill) has the temperament to become a great player,” Gavaskar said while commentating during the ongoing World Test Championship between India and New Zealand in Southampton.

Gill opened the innings alongside opener Rohit Sharma and together they added 62 runs on Day 2. Gill was dismissed for 28 off 64, an innings that featured three fours.

Gavaskar says that the first century is always the toughest to get and once Gill crosses that hurdle, plenty more will follow. “The first hundred is always the toughest one because that journey from scoring a half century to reaching three figures is not that easy,” Gavaskar said.

He continued, “Batsmen tend to feel settled somewhere around 70-80 run mark and start taking the bowlers on and lose their wicket in that way. He just needs to get his first hundred and then a lot more will follow.”

India were 146/3 in 64.4 overs when the play was stopped due to bad light. The forecast for the upcoming days isn’t great either with rain predicted on Day 3 as well.

When the play ended, captain Virat Kohli was batting on 44 alongside Ajinkya Rahane on 29 not out.

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.
