Australia registered their second consecutive win in the ICC T20 World Cup  2021 against Sri Lanka on Thursday. After restricting Sri Lanka for 154 runs, Australia chased it down with 7 wickets and 18 balls left. While Adam Zampa was the pick of the bowlers with 2 wickets for just 12 runs in his 4 overs, what has caught the eyes of sports lovers is a superfast yorker Mitchell Starc bowled to get rid of Kusal Perera.

ICC T20 World Cup 2021: Mitchell Starc Bowls Magical Yorker to Knock Kusal Perera Over - WATCH

The International Cricket Council shared the video on its official page and T20worldcup’s official page. “Mitchell Starc at his blazing best. An electrifying yorker gets the better of Kusal Perera, bringing an end to his knock of 35,” read the caption to the post.

The video shows Starc bowling the toe-crusher on the third ball of the 11th over to embarrass the Sri Lankan southpaw, who was playing well. Perera was dismissed for 35 and 25 balls. Starc’s delivery came as a perfect counter to Perera hitting him for a six on the previous delivery.

The ball clocked 144 km/h on the speedometer. Starc scalped 2 wickets in his quota of 4 overs giving away just 27 runs. The breathtaking Yorker from the left-arm speedster however might not have been a very pleasant sight for the Indian fans, who saw Pakistani left-arm faster Shaheen Afridi bowling similar deliveries shocking the Indian team with two early wickets of Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul on Sunday.

Speaking about this game, Australia won the toss and put Sri Lanka to bat first. Owing to the brilliance of Zampa and Starc, Australia contained them at 154 in 20 overs. In the second innings, along with the victory, the biggest headline was ace opener David Warner returning to form. The southpaw, who is going through a rough patch, scored 65 off 42 balls to help his team chase down the target.

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.
