“We have not a wicketkeeper like MS Dhoni”: Captain Kohli challenges Rishabh Pant
Ahead of the T20 World Cup, India captain Virat Kohli called wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant over video conference and the two had a fun banter. Kohli looked stressed ahead of the marquee tournament and asked Pant if he was practicing hitting sixes as that is necessary for T20s. Pant responded positively assuring Kohli that he has been at it every day – training hard.
“Rishabh, sixes win you matches in T20 cricket,” Kohli tells Pant in a virtual call in the video shared by Star Sports India.
“Don’t worry bhaiya, I am practicing every day. It was a wicketkeeper that won India a World Cup by hitting a six,” said Pant, referring to Dhoni finishing the 2011 World Cup final with a six at the Wankhede Stadium.
Kohli then says that India has not got a wicketkeeper of the pedigree of MS Dhoni since he left.
“Yes, but India have not got a wicketkeeper like Mahi bhai since then,” Kohli says. When Pant says that he is India’s wicketkeeper, Kohli says: “See I have a lot of wicketkeepers, let’s see who plays in the warm-ups.”
It would be interesting to see if Pant features in the warm-up games ahead of the tournament opener.
India, who are hot favourites to win the title, would be playing warm-up games against England and Australia on October 18 and 20 respectively in Dubai. The Kohli-led side play their tournament opener against Pakistan on October 24.

What monkey fled with a bag containing evidence in it: Read full story
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.
