Team Indian led by Virat Kohli suffered two consecutive ‘humiliating’ defeats in the super 12 stage of the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2021. Following the defeat from Pakistan and New Zealand, the Men in Blue have been receiving criticism from fans and experts. Now, former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram made a scathing attack saying that the Indian team’s ignorance to play limited-overs international cricket seems to be the big reason behind their poor performance in the showpiece ICC event so far. He alleged that India do not take international cricket seriously.

To validate his opinion, Wasim highlighted that the senior players of the Indian team played the last big international limited-overs series against England in March. Apart from this, they did not play any other limited over series prior to the T20 World Cup, he said.

Pakistani former pacer, who holds the record for most ODI wickets, went on to say that even though the Indian players performed brilliantly in the Indian Premier League (IPL) recently, but it can not match the standards of international cricket.

“India last played a limited-overs series with all the senior players in March. Now we are in November. So that shows they are not taking those international series seriously. They think playing the IPL is enough,” Akram said on A Sports, Pakistan’s sports-based channel.

Akram said that in IPL and similar league cricket, a batter usually faces one or two good bowlers in a gamer, however, in international cricket matches, a batter faces at least five good bowlers.

Akram’s comment came after India’s defeat to New Zealand on October 31. New Zealand’s victory over India by 8 wickets on Sunday pushed 2007 World T20 champions’ semi-final chances hanging by a thread.

Commenting upon the India Vs New Zealand match, Akram said that losing toss deflated India in the first place and it further worsened due to management’s decision to push Rohit Sharma for batting at No. 3 in a crucial, do-or-die game. Akram said management could have sent Ishan Kishan at number 3 instead of Rohit, who had scored four centuries in T20Is as an opener.

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.
