‘Started fast bowling to impress girls, stuck to cricket after no response’: Pakistani pacer Shoaib Akhtar

Former Pakistan pace legend Shoaib Akhtar took some time off from cricket analysis to talk about memes. Yep. The retired Rawalpindi Express who once clocked bowling speeds of upwards of 90 miles, 161.3 kmph being his fastest, gave a peek into his student life while reviewing memes on stand-up comedian and vlogger Tanmay Bhat’s popular YouTube series “Pakistanis are savage.” Reacting to a meme, Bhat asked Akhtar if the bowler was a studious kid. “I was a brilliant student. When I reached graduation, I had started playing cricket. I was a fast learner. I was naughty too,” Akhtar responded. Writer and comedian Ashish Shakya who was among the meme-panelists on Bhat’s now-viral video asked if taking up sports in school gave pacer the license of being not-so-involved in studies.

“I started playing cricket for girls. To be honest with you, we had a girls’ block. I started bowling to impress them. They used to watch my fast bowling. I had become a local star. But when I used to come on my motorcycle and didn’t get any attention, I realised I needed to move forward in cricket,” Akhtar chimed in a lighter vein.

Coming back to cricket, after another belter of a wicket at National Stadium Karachi—venue for the second Test match between Australia and Pakistan, a number of former Pakistan cricketers have vented their disappointment at Ramiz Raja for producing colorless pitches. A number of greats which include the likes of Shoaib Akhtar, Inzamam ul Haq, and Wasim Akram took digs at their home boards, pointing out how the pitches should have been dished out for the incoming visitors.

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.
