“India deserve more respect despite their faltering campaign at the Twenty20 World Cup”: Indian allrounder Ravindra Jadeja

India deserve more respect despite their faltering campaign at the Twenty20 World Cup, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja said after the team`s comprehensive victory against Scotland on Friday.

The 2007 champions risk early exit after being thrashed by Pakistan and New Zealand, the top two teams in Group II, in their first two matches.

They snapped their losing streak against Afghanistan earlier this week. However, to have any chance of reaching the last four, India have to rely on the Afghans beating New Zealand  on Sunday and then Virat Kohli`s men must defeat Namibia a day later.

“We as a team have played consistently well in the last three years across formats, at home and away,” Jadeja, whose 3-15 against Scotland earned him the man-of-the-match award, said after their eight-wicket victory.

“We may have been off-colour in a couple of matches, but it`s wrong to judge us by that.”

Toss has played a vital role in the tournament with chasing teams holding a clear edge and India captain Kohli was unlucky with the toss of a coin in the first three matches.

“Batting the first innings has been a challenge with the ball gripping the surface and stopping a bit,” Jadeja said.

“With the dew setting in, the pitch gets flat and batting becomes lot easier. We`ve seen the same team looking quite different depending on when they batted.

“Teams batting first have struggled to get good starts, which is so important in T20 cricket.”

Jadeja conceded winning the final group may not be enough but said dwelling on what went wrong was pointless.

“There is no panic in the dressing room. We are not thinking of our loss in the first two matches. We got an opportunity and we are trying to make it count,” he added.

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.
