Twitter user predicts exact score, mode of dismissal, reaction of Virat Kohli in his 100th Test
Fans shocked, Sehwag says "Wow!!!"
User made the prediction nine hours before the game began in Mohali
Mohali: A Twitter user named Shruti #100 is grabbing all the attention of Indian Cricket fans on the micro-blogging site after she exactly predicts Virat Kohli’s score in his hundredth test match, his mode of dismissal, and the star batsman’s reaction to his dismissal.
The user in a tweet that was posted at 12:46 am on March 4 – nearly nine hours before Kohli’s milestone Test match began, said Kohli will not score his hugely awaited 71st century in his 100th Test and will fall after scoring 45 runs.
Not only his score, the user also predicted that Sri Lankan spinner Embuldeniya will knock his stumps over and Kohli will “pretend” to be shocked at his dismissal before nodding his head in dismissal.
On Friday, playing his 100th Test match, Kohli fell exactly on the score predicted by the user, was dismissed in a similar fashion as described in the tweet, and was also shocked at his dismissal.
However, the user had mentioned Kohli would score four “gorgeous cover drives” and would face 100 deliveries before being dismissed. The two predictions did not come through as Kohli was dismissed on his 76th delivery and had scored five boundaries across parts of the ground.
Reacting to the prediction, former India cricketer Virender Sehwag replied with “Wow!!!” while other fans were amused at the similarities in the prediction that was done nine hours before the game began.
A few users also claimed that the user in question had duped the tweet and used software to pre-date the tweet, which it claimed can be done by good technicians who know the software well.
Kohli Won't score a 100 in his 100th test. Will score 45 (100) with 4 gorgeous cover drives and then Embuldeniya will knock his stumps over and he'll pretend to be shocked 😳😳 and will nod his head in disappointment

Ready to face no-confidence motion, says Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah
Hassan (Karnataka) (PTI): Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday said that the Congress government led by him was ready to face the no-confidence motion if moved by the opposition during the legislature session from December 8.
With Deputy CM D K Shivakumar by his side, he reiterated that they would both abide by the high command's decision on the leadership issue.
"Let them (opposition) bring in a no-confidence motion or adjournment motion or any other motion. We are ready to face it. Ours is an open book, transparent government. We are ready to face anything," Siddaramaiah said in response to a question.
However, BJP state President B Y Vijayendra and Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Assembly R Ashoka, clarified that the party, along with the JD(S) has not discussed or decided anything so far regarding moving a no-confidence motion against the government.

The winter session of the Karnataka legislature will begin in Belagavi, bordering Maharashtra, on December 8 and will go on till 19th of this month.
Not wanting to react to a question on the leadership issue, the CM said the Congress high command is very strong.
"D K Shivakumar and I will be committed to whatever the high command decides," he said.
Earlier in the day in Bengaluru, Shivakumar accompanied AICC Mallikarjun Kharge till airport from Vidhana Soudha, after paying tributes to B R Ambedkar on his 69th death anniversary, which had led to some speculation about possible discussion between the two on the leadership issue.
The power tussle within the ruling party had intensified amid speculation about a change in chief minister in the state, after the Congress government reached the halfway mark of its five-year term on November 20.
However, both the CM and Deputy CM had recently held breakfast meetings at each others residences, on the instructions of the high command, which is seen as a move to pause the leadership tussle between the two and to signal Siddaramaiah's continuation as the CM for the time being, especially ahead of the Belagavi legislature session.
