I feel he can become a very good option at No 3: Sanjay Bangar on Shreyas Iyer

Former Indian player Sanjay Bangar has reckoned that the management is looking to groom to Shreyas Iyer as Virat Kohli backup option for No 3 in case the latter is not available.  Iyer, while batting at No 3 position at the first T20I against Sri Lanka hit a quickfire 57 off 28 balls to help India post a mammoth 199 runs in their allotted 20 overs.

With former Indian skipper Kohli rested for the last T20I match against West Indies and the ongoing series with Sri Lanka, the 27-year old batsman has batted at the No 3 spot in last two T20I matches for team India. Iyer has represented India in 34 T20I matches in which he has scored 662 runs at an average of 30.09. The batsman plays with a strike rate of 137.06 and has four fifties under his belt.

Bangar in a conversation with Star Sports said, “The bench is getting strong. The position at which Shreyas is being sent to bat, he is being continuously sent at No. 3. So God forbid if Virat Kohli gets injured in some match, I feel he can become a very good option at No. 3 and that is probably where the team management’s sights are set on Shreyas Iyer.”

Even former Indian pacer Irfan Pathan was also in awe with Iyer’s ball hitting ability. “This guy has the swag. When this boy is in form, it is enjoyable to watch. The big shots he plays, he doesn’t stay at one spot but despite that, the balance he generates, it is his own ability,” Pathan was quoted by Sportskeeda

.”I like the non-looker six he hits the most. The two sixes he hit off the slower ones – one off Karunaratne and later off Chameera. He answered the critics with his bat, you don’t need to answer with your tongue. If we expect Shreyas Iyer to bat always at a strike rate of around 160, that’s not going to happen, he is a different batter,” 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.
