It has been eight long years since Team India won an ICC title. Back in 2013, the Men in Blue lifted the Champions Trophy under the leadership of MS Dhoni by defeating England in a rain-affected final. Since then, the team made it to three World Cup semi-finals but unfortunately, it lost on all three occasions.

'...Then We'll Have Better Chance': Former Captain Explains How India Can Become World Champions Once Again 

A couple of months back, India received a major blow in the T20 World Cup in which they were knocked out early, after losing two consecutive games – to Pakistan and New Zealand. With two more World Cup lined in the coming years, the Indian team would look to boost their chances with a new coach-captain duo and former batting legend Sunil Gavaskar has given a solution for the same.

In his latest column for Mid-Day, Gavaskar recalled India’s world cup triumphs in the past and highlighted one particular area that Team India needs to sort out if they want to become the champions once again.

“It was a squad of 14 players and one manager and we conquered the cricketing world. There were no field restrictions then, no limitations on the number of bouncers too and the red ball in English conditions which hardly stopped moving even after the shine was gone,” Gavaskar wrote about India’s 1983 World Cup-winning team.

“That team were full of all-rounders and that is the key especially in limited-overs cricket. Even the 2007 and 2011 teams had batsmen who could bowl and bowlers who were no bunnies with the bat. If India can find two all-rounders, then we will have a better chance in the T20 World Cup in Australia in 2022 and in the 50 overs Cup at home in India in 2023,” 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.
