Team India’s former captain Mohammed Azharuddin has lambasted the current skippers Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli for not being clear about their availability across formats ahead of a crucial tour of South Africa. The Men in Blue are scheduled to take on the Proteas from December 26, although there have been a few hiccups along the road.

Firstly, the BCCI decided to remove Virat Kohli as the ODI skipper and gave the captaincy to Rohit Sharma, stating that there can’t be two captains across T20 and ODI formats. For the unversed, Kohli had earlier stepped down as the skipper in T20I format after the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup earlier this year.

Rohit Sharma then led India to a 3-0 series win against New Zealand in the T20I series at home, and subsequently, owing to his good run of form in the purest form of cricket, he was promoted to vice-captain in the Test format as well. However, Rohit had missed the Test series against New Zealand, while Kohli only played in the last of the two matches against the Kiwis.

Now, in the latest turn of events, Rohit has been sidelined from the upcoming Test series versus South Africa through an injury, while Kohli has reportedly, asked for a break after the Tests as he wishes to be with his family, for the first birthday celebration of his daughter Vamika.

Team India will be playing 3 Test matches against the Proteas from December 26 to January 15, while the 3 match ODI series will be played between January 19 to January 23. Subsequently, former Indian skipper, Mohammed Azharuddin came down heavily on Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli for their behaviour ahead of the tour of South Africa.

The veteran tweeted that the pair should have been clear about their availability and that such behaviour will only add fuel to the speculation about a rift between the two skippers.

Azhar wrote, “Virat Kohli has informed that he’s not available for the ODI series & Rohit Sharma is unavailable fr d upcoming test. There is no harm in taking a break but d timing has to be better. This just substantiates speculation abt d rift. Neither will be giving up another form of cricket.”

In the meanwhile, Team India have included Priyank Panchal as Rohit Sharma’s replacement for the Test series, while it remains to be seen whether Rohit can return in time for the ODI series or not.

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.
