Devdutt Padikkal became the first Indian player born in the 2000s to play international cricket on Wednesday. A covid-19 scare in the Indian contingent before the second T20 International against Sri Lanka paved the way for several newcomers to feature in the playing XI.

Making his debut during the second T20I of the three-match series against Sri Lanka, Devdutt scored 29 off 23. More was expected from the 21-year-old in the third T20I as India were aiming for a victory in the game and the series.

Batting first on Thursday, India got off to a disastrous start. The team lost their skipper Shikhar Dhawan for a golden duck. Thus, the responsibility of steering India innings forward fell on the young shoulders of Ruturaj Gaikwad and Padikkal.

However, the pressure got the better of Padikkal and he was dismissed twice on the same delivery in two different ways. On the last delivery of the fourth over by Ramesh Mendis, Padikkal went for a sweep across the line. However, the left-hander failed to execute his plan and missed the ball completely. As the ball crashed on the batter’s pad, Sri Lanka appealed for an Lbw.

Meanwhile, Padikkal decided to go for a non-existent run after the ball rolled back towards the square leg region. However, his Ruturaj decided against the run and Padikkal had to scamper back. However, before he could make his ground, Minod Bhanuka took off the bails.

In the meantime, the umpire Kumar Dharmasena lifted his finger to adjudge Padikkal lbw. This way the 21-year-old lost his wicket twice on the same delivery and marched back to the dug-out after managing just 9 off 15.

As far as the match is concerned, India collapsed at 81 in 20 overs. Sri Lanka easily completed the target in 14.3 over to win the game by seven wickets and the T20I series by 2-1.

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.
