Former Australia skipper Ian Chappell on Saturday said that Virat Kohli-led Indian side has now joined the ranks of pace-bowling proficient teams and have an even-money chance of beating England on their home turf.

India will kickstart their World Test Championship 2021-2023 cycle with a 5-Test series against England in August. Despite India losing the World Test Championship final against New Zealand, Chappell praised India for creating a solid pace-bowling arsenal comprising Ishant Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and Mohammed Siraj.

“In recent years India has joined the ranks of pace-bowling proficient teams. As a consequence, they have enjoyed success in Australia, reached the final of the WTC and now have an even-money chance of beating England on their home turf. Good pace bowling definitely has its advantages,” Chappell wrote in his column for ESPNCricinfo.

Talking about New Zealand’s bowling attack, Chappell said: “New Zealand’s well-deserved win in the World Test Championship final highlighted an accepted adage in cricket: fast bowling rules. New Zealand’s pace quartet – Tim Southee, Trent Boult, Neil Wagner, and Kyle Jamieson made possible their presence in the final. Then in the prolonged battle with India for supremacy, the quick bowlers led the last-day victory charge.”

“Such was the influence of the New Zealand attack that there was even a comparison with the formidable West Indies quartets that ruled from the late-1970s to the mid-1990s,” he added. Chappell also said that if one looks at things statistically, then Kyle Jamieson might look like the leader of the attack, but in reality, the attack is led by Tim Southee.

“Statistically the leader of New Zealand’s group is undoubtedly Jamieson, with 28 wickets at the uncovered-pitches-average of 12.07 in these five Tests. However, experience-wise, it’s swing bowler Southee who leads the way,” he said.

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.
