Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to have meeting with BCCI officials for making changes in WC T20 squad
Team India’s squad for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 could see some changes as skipper Virat Kohli and vice-captain Rohit Sharma have set up a meeting with the national selectors to finalise their 15-member squad for the tournament, ahead of the October 10 deadline.
The BCCI had announced a 15-member squad on September 8 and the selectors surprised many by leaving out the likes of Yuzvendra Chahal and Shardul Thakur out of the squad. With some players in the initial squad struggling during the UAE leg of IPL and many left out of the have given a strong statement by putting up consistent performances.
The likes of Yuzvendra Chahal, Shardul Thakur and Shreyas Iyer have made a case for their selection and looking at the performances of those in the squad and those not, BCCI could make some change sin the final squad, like Pakistan, who made three changes to their final squad for the multi-nation event.
Along with his form, Hardik Pandya’s form and fitness are one of the biggest concerns for the management as the star all-rounder didn’t look in his usual batting form and didn’t even bowl a single ball in the second leg of the IPL 2021.
Hardik was picked as the fourth seamer in the squad as the Chairman of Selectors, Chetan Sharma had shown faith in him bowling his full quota of overs. With Hardik not bowling, it may disrupt India’s balance for the T20 World Cup and they might add an extra all-round option.
However, the board is keen on keeping Hardik in the side as there is no like-for-like replacement of him. According to a BCCI source, the likes of Deepak Chahar and Shardul Thakur are not ready to take up the all-rounder’s role.
“There is no question of replacing Hardik at this stage. Shardul or Deepak are not ready to take on the role. We have to develop backup in future. But now, it’s not the time, he will not be replaced,” a BCCI source told InsideSport.

What monkey fled with a bag containing evidence in it: Read full story
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.
