Mohammad Rizwan has been one of the top performers for Pakistan in T20 cricket this year. The wicket-keeper batter had a terrific T20 World Cup 2021 campaign and continued his purple patch in the just-concluded T20I series against West Indies at home. Rizwan slammed a brilliant 87-run-knock of just 45 balls to help Pakistan chase down the target of 208 runs and clinch the third T20I against the visitors in Karachi on Thursday.

After back-to-back wins in the first two T20Is, Pakistan thrashed West Indies by seven wickets in the third and final encounter to clean sweep the series 3-0. It was a splendid batting performance from the hosts as half-centuries from Rizwan (87) and Baba Azam (79) helped them chase down the huge target of 208 runs with seven balls to spare.

Rizwan became the first batsman in the world to score over 2000 runs in T20 cricket in a calendar year as he set a new world record with his 87-run-knock in the third and final T20I. The wicket-keeper batter has had an amazing 2021 as far as the shortest format of the game is concerned.

Rizwan ended the year with 2,036 T20 runs, of which he notched up 1,326 runs for Pakistan in T20Is. He is also the highest run-getters in T20Is in 2021 with his 1,326 runs from 29 matches at an average of over 73 and a strike rate of over 134. He slammed 12 half-centuries and a hundred in T20Is this year.

Rizwan broke the record of Chris Gayle, who had the tally of 1665 runs in a single year. His knock also helped Pakistan record their highest ever run chase in a T20I game as they scaled down the target of 208 runs comfortably.

Rizwan had scored 78 runs in the series opener against West Indies before notching up 38 runs in the second T20I. He came close to smashing a century in the third and final T20I on Thursday but fell short by 13 runs after getting dismissed on 87 off just 45 balls.

Nonetheless, he scripted history by becoming the first batter to breach the 2000-run mark in T20s in a calendar year.

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.
