“Virat never asked me to bowl him at the nets during IPL”: NZ bowler clears rumours after WTC finals

New Zealand pacer Kyle Jamieson has revealed that Virat Kohli never asked him to bowl with the Dukes balls during his stint with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

The lanky pacer suggested that there is no truth in the story. Jamieson was named Player of the Match in the recently-concluded World Test Championship (WTC) and dismissed Kohli twice in the match. New Zealand defeated India by eight wickets to win the inaugural WTC at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton.

Speaking to Sporting News, the Kiwi pacer said: “No, it wasn’t so much him asking. I think it was Dan (Christian) just sort of adding some stuff for a good story. We were just talking about it at the start of the IPL with the cricket coming up with our UK tour and theirs as well, and I mentioned that I had some Dukes balls. He had some Dukes balls as well.

“He just said look at the back end if we want to do some training, we’ll do that, but there was no specificity around me bowing to him or, or giving him a look, but whether he was insinuating something that’s something he could tell you but obviously quite a funny story that’s unfolded,” added Jamieson.

The story emerged when Dan Christian, a fellow RCB teammate of Jamieson and Kohli, said on The Grade Cricketer’s YouTube channel, that the Kohli had been eager to see how Jamieson made use of the Dukes ball, which was used in the WTC final.

Jamieson had claimed Kohli’s wicket during India’s Tour of New Zealand in 2020. It was Jamieson’s maiden Test series, and on the back of his impressive performances, he was picked up by RCB for Rs 15 crore.

On his experience of sharing the dressing room with Virat Kohli in the IPL, Jamieson said: “He’s a world-class player and just to spend time observing how he operates and how he goes about things both on and off the field was pretty cool and you know it’s nice just to be able to be friendly out in the middle even just having a bit of a laugh and a joke, while the game was going on.”

Kyle Jamieson is currently playing for Surrey in the T20 Blast in England.

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.
