Zaheer cleaned

Zaheer clarified the matter and said, “I did not say so.” I said that there have been only two such players, the first Kiran More, who left the catch of Graham Gooch and scored 300 runs. Then Kohli was one, he left McCullum’s catch and he scored 300 runs. So Virat got angry and told me that I should not talk like this. Kohli did not like this and after leaving the catch, it rained.
