Former Pakistani player Umar Gul says “Get these two out and India will fall under pressure”

India and Pakistan open their T20 World Cup campaign by facing each other on October 24. This will make the first time since the 2019 World Cup that the two teams will meet in international cricket. With tensions on both sides of the border restricting India and Pakistan from playing cricket with each other more often, the mother of all battles to kickstart the T20 World Cup promises to be an engaging affair.

India hold a solid 12-0 record against Pakistan at World Cups – winning seven times in the 50-overs World Cup and on five occasions at the T20 World Cup. And with so much hue and cry being made of Pakistan’s T20 World Cup squad, it is believed that India start favourites to strengthen their record further.

However, former Pakistan fast bowler Umar Gul feels that in order for Pakistan to edge India, the 2017 Champions Trophy winners would need to ensure one thing – and that is to send back Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma cheaply. In the 2019 World Cup encounter, Rohit scored a brilliant century – a knock of 140 – supported ably by captain Kohli, who hit 85 as India posted a mammoth 336/5, in reply to which Pakistan were stranded at 212/6 in a rain-marred match. That is something Pakistan need to avoid of they are to register their first World Cup win over India.

“India have worked really hard on their team and realistically, they are very strong. The IPL has benefitted them and given them several players. If you have to look at their batting, then Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are the main players. They are a part of India’s top order. Get them out and India will be under pressure. If in the Powerplay, Pakistan can dismiss 2-3 of their top order batsmen, then it will be slightly tough for the rest of the batsmen,” Gul told Cricket Pakistan.

The last time India and Pakistan faced each other in a T20 World Cup game was at the 2016 World T20, where India defeated Pakistan by six wickets. Kohli remained unbeaten on 155 as India chased down a 119-run target at the Eden Gardens.

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.
