India take on New Zealand in the first of a 3-match T20I series from November 17 in Jaipur as the Asian giants head into a new era in the shortest format of the game under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma and the tenure of Rahul Dravid as the head coach.

While India have rested some of their star players, including former captain Virat Kohli, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami, New Zealand, who are playing 2 days after their World Cup final heartbreak, will be without captain Kane Williamson.

The disappointment in the UAE edition has forced India to look beyond Hardik Pandya, who for long has not been able to bring his all-round skills to the table,

Star IPL performer Venkatesh Iyer has been brought in as Hardik’s replacement and the three games is likely to give an indication if he can be groomed for the much-needed fast bowling all-rounder’s slot.

Yuzvendra Chahal eyes return to playing XI

The other IPL performers who have been picked in the squad are Ruturaj Gaikwad, Harshal Patel, Avesh Khan and Yuzvendra Chahal, who makes a comeback after controversially being left out of the World Cup squad.

With Jasprit Bumah rested for the series, India will be looking to find another pacer, who can consistently clock 140kmph and above. As it was seen in the UAE, the extra pace always comes in handy, bringing Avesh and Mohammad Siraj into the picture.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who was not at his best in the UAE, has been given another opportunity to find his A game.

There are five shortest format openers in the side and slotting them in various middle-order positions will be a challenge.

Rohit and vice-captain K L Rahul are expected to open on Wednesday but India might be tempted to experiment in the presence of more options like Ishan Kishan and Gaikwad.

Suryakumar Yadav could not find his rhythm during the World Cup but he is one player India would be looking to groom at number four, especially for the true pitches in Australia.

In the absence of rested Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel can fill the spin-bowling all-rounder slot while R Ashwin is expected to retain his place in the playing eleven after an impressive white-ball comeback in the UAE.

Venkatesh Iyer to debut in Jaipur?

India predicted playing XI for 1st T20I: 1. Rohit Sharma (captain), 2. KL Rahul (vice-captain), 3. Shreyas Iyer, 4. Suryakumar Yadav, 5. Rishabh Pant (WK), 6. Venkatesh Iyer, 7. Harshal Patel, 8. R Ashwin, 9. Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 10. Mohammad Siraj, 11. Yuzvendra Chahal.

Seasoned pacer Tim Southee will lead New Zealand in Kane Williamson’s absence. However with Trent Boult for company and dangerous Daryl Mitchell in the top-order, New Zealand will be more than a handful in this series.

New Zealand could give opportunities to players who did not have much to do in the UAE including Kyle Jamieson who only played the warm-up games.

New Zealand Predicted Playing XI for the 1st T20I: 1. Martin Guptill, 2. Daryl Mitchell, 3. Mark Chapman, 4. Glenn Phillips (WK), 5. Tim Seifert, 6. James Neesham, 7. Kyle Jamieson/Todd Astle, 8. Ish Sodhi, 9. Lockie Fergusson, 10. Tim Southee (Captain), 11. Trent Boult.

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.
