Virat Kohli-led Team India will begin their T20 World Cup 2021 campaign, in the UAE, with their tournament-opener versus Pakistan, on October 24 (Sunday) at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai. India are placed in a tricky group, i.e. Pool B, and will have to be on their toes to march ahead into the semi-finals.

It, however, goes without saying that Kohli-led India will start as one of the favourites for the ICC event as they have plenty of match-winners. The Men in Blue are aiming for their second title in the T20 WC and have plethora of star players in their arsenal, such as KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma, Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Shardul Thakur, Varun Chakravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah, etc.

Among plenty of match-winners in India’s line-up, the former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram named SKY as the gamechanger for Team India. “India have found a player in Suryakumar Yadav. I think he will change the game after those 6 overs in time to come. I have seen his shots. He was with me at KKR as well, now he has improved as a cricketer. He plays his shots, safe shots and doesn’t stop. So, he needs to go the way he has been playing in his career,” Akram said on the ‘Salaam Cricket’ show on Sports Tak.

Suryakumar, following three successive IPL seasons for Mumbai Indians (MI), made his international debut early this year. He has already made heads turn with his ability to play shots all around the ground and maintain a healthy strike-rate at the top of the order.

For the unversed, India’s group comprises New Zealand, Afghanistan and Scotland as well, apart from Babar Azam-led Pakistan, whereas one among Ireland or Namibia will join them post the qualifying round. The Men in Blue will aim to replicate their 2007 T20 WC success this time around and also have MS Dhoni as the team mentor.

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.
