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

Upset over insufficient replies by govt, Speaker adjourns the Assembly, walks out
Bengaluru (PTI): Upset over the insufficient number of written replies from government departments to MLAs' questions, Karnataka Assembly Speaker U T Khader on Monday adjourned the House and walked out, stating that he would not run the House until concerned ministers and secretaries provide an explanation.
The Speaker's move, considered "unprecedented" by many legislators, came after Home Minister G Parameshwara tabled 84 written replies against 230 'unstarred' questions submitted by MLAs.
Khader, on Friday, had admonished the government, stating that his "gentleness" should not be mistaken for "weakness," as he took strong exception to the government replying to only a few of the questions from MLAs.
Last week, Khader had repeatedly, though mildly, asked the government to ensure replies to the questions asked by legislators.
As soon as Parameshwara tabled the written replies, opposition BJP members, including Leader of Opposition R Ashoka, pointed out to the Chair that the situation had not improved despite repeated warnings, even as the Home Minister claimed that there was a "bit of improvement."
"Not even 50 per cent questions were replied to. You (Speaker) have warned them (government) four times already, do it for the fifth time. Let it become a record. This government is dead.....Despite warnings, they have not improved. Officials come like Gods, they go home like Gods," Ashoka said, demanding that the Speaker take action.
Khader expressed displeasure, stating that he had issued "clear orders" from his chair four times.
"This House is not for ministers. The session is held for legislators, and it is for them to meet once in three months to discuss issues in their constituencies. Legislators from all parties ask questions. Out of them, only 15 questions become 'starred' (questions to be answered on the floor of the House) daily. If the remaining (unstarred) questions go unanswered, why should they (MLAs) come to this House?" he asked.
Pointing out the lack of proper replies to questions asked, the Speaker said, "How can we continue like this? Despite clear orders from the Chair four times, there are no signs of improvement. How do we run this House?"
"So, until the concerned ministers and secretaries give a proper explanation, I won't run this House," he said, before adjourning the House and walking out.
Later, when the House resumed, the Speaker said there was a meeting involving the Chief Minister, Leader of Opposition, senior minister, chief secretary and other senior officials took place, during which it was decided that answers should be provided to questions put by MLAs and appropriate action had been taken.
The government will give its reply on this issue later in the day, he said, as he adjourned the House for lunch.
