‘Kohli has taken Indian cricket to a next level’- former Indian wicketkeeper batter Parthiv Patel
Come March 4, Indian stalwart Virat Kohli will be playing his 100th Test match for India. On the doors of achieving an amazing milestone, former Indian wicketkeeper-batter Parthiv Patel has heaped praise for Kohli on reaching this astounding landmark.
In another good news, the spectators will also be allowed to cheer for their favorite batter as he will achieve this feat. Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had recently announced that the first Test match between India and Sri Lanka to be played at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali will not be held behind close doors.
Kohli has represented India in 99 Test matches so far amassing 7,962 runs in the process. The 33-year old batter has an outstanding average of 50.39 while playing at a strike rate of 55.67 in the longest format of the game. The right-handed batter will look to end his century drought in the upcoming match.
Every match is important for Virat Kohli says Parthiv Patel
Meanwhile, former Indian batter Parthiv Patel in a conversation with Cricbuzz applauded Kohli’s effort for achieving this milestone.
In a conversation with Cricbuzz Parthiv said, “His number speaks for him itself. The batter averages 50 in Test cricket and has taken Indian Test cricket at new heights during his captaincy tenure. I have played under Virat’s captaincy and the attitude he brought in the Test side is remarkable.”
“Every match is important for Kohli even if we are trailing behind or have already won the series, we have to play every match with the same intensity,” said Parthiv.
“Playing 100 Test match is a big achievement for any player. Even in Indian cricket very few have achieved this landmark. We will now take Virat’s name alongside with some Indian greats including Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar who have achieved this landmark,” Parthiv added.
Talking about his limited over career, Kohli has played a total of 357 matches including both ODIs and T20Is scoring a total of 15,607 runs in the process.

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.
