‘We still haven’t beaten India in India. That would be nice to do’: David Warner wants test series win in India
Australia opener David Warner wants to secure the 2023 Ashes win in England and record a series win in India before retiring from Tests. Since being dropped by his IPL side Sunrisers Hyderabad in September, 35-year-old Warner rebounded to win Player of the Tournament during Australia’s T20 World Cup triumph in UAE.
He now sits third on the runs list in the ongoing Ashes series, with 240 at an average of 60. After 89 Tests and a decade at the highest level, Warner has little left to prove, but the swashbuckling lefthander still has a couple of items on his bucket list.
“We still haven’t beaten India in India. That would be nice to do. And obviously, England away, we had a drawn series in 2019, but hopefully, if I manage to get that chance and opportunity, I might think about going back,” Warner was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.
David Warner inspired by James Anderson as Australian opener eyes off 2023 Ashes
Warner also said that he sees age as no barrier, and he lauded England pacer James Anderson for setting a really high benchmark in Test cricket.
“I think James Anderson sets the benchmark for older guys these days. We look up to him as we’re getting on in our days. But for me, it’s about performing to the best of my ability and putting runs on the board.
“In the first two Tests, I actually look like a proper batsman, it’s almost like I’ve played my career the other way and had to knuckle down and respect the bowling and the line and lengths that they were bowling and obviously, the hundred eluded me,” Warner added.
“I feel in good touch. As I said, I was out of runs not out of form, so hopefully, I can put some more numbers on the board leading into this new year,” he added.

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.
