Days after Virat Kohli was replaced as the ODI skipper and Rohit Sharma was named as the captain, many have not been able to digest the fact how the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) handled the situation.

Now talking about the issues is former Pakistan opener Salman Butt who has come down hard on the BCCI over their handling of Virat Kohli.

While Butt admitted that the move was “on the cards”, he stated that the entire event that came out could have been a lot better, given Kohli has been one of the most valuable cricketers for his nation.

“BCCI didn’t want Kohli to step down (before T20 WC). But it doesn’t make much sense for white-ball formats to have two different captains. It would’ve been better if there was no aggrieved party in this situation, though,” Butt said on his official YouTube channel.

“The reports came across after the announcement that Kohli was given two days to step down and while this shows how much authority they have, you have to look at what he has done for his country. It should’ve been more respectful. You have your cricket board on one side, and one of the best players in the world at the other,” Butt added.

However, he went on to say that the decision taken was a sensible one. “Anyway, whatever happened, in the end, makes sense because you shouldn’t have two captains for different white-ball formats.

“Joe Root plays one-dayers for England but their captain remains (Eoin) Morgan. Similarly in Australia, Aaron Finch leads them in ODIs and T20Is and Cummins is the captain of the Test team despite the latter playing all formats,” said Butt.

About the ODI captaincy saga:

On December 8, BCCI tweeted announcing the selection committee’s call of “deciding” to name Rohit Sharma as the ODI captain “going forward”.

Multiple reports suggested that the call was imposed on Kohli, who had expressed his desire to lead the 50-overs team when he had announced his decision to step down as the T20I skipper to manage his workload.

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.
