Virat Kohli may not be having the best of his days with the willow, but as captain of the Indian team, he surpassed various milestones courtesy of India’s historic win over South Africa in Centurion. The Men in Blue have taken a 1-0 lead in the three-match series and Virat has the chance of shattering yet another batting record when he takes to the field in the second Test at Wanderers.

Kohli may not have scored an international century for more than two years, but he will hope to avoid the mistakes he made in the first Test when India take on the Proteas from Wednesday. The visitors need just one more win to wrap up the series and win their maiden Test series on South African for the first time in their history.

Apart from the collective glory, some individual honours will also be at stake, as Kohli nears a huge batting record in Johannesburg.

The Indian red-ball skipper is currently the second-highest run-scorer in Test cricket, amid opposition batsmen at Johannesburg. Kohli has scored 310 runs at the venue, and currently trails New Zealand’s John Reid, who has 316 runs to his name. This means that Kohli can surpass Reid’s record, by scoring more than six runs in the next game.

Kohli’s compatriot Cheteshwar Pujara also isn’t too far behind on this list, he has scored 229 runs at the Wanderers, with a century and a half-century in two matches. Although both the Indian batsmen are currently struggling to make an impact with the bat.

India were able to put South Africa to the sword with the help of their pace attack but the Indian batsmen will also have to up-the-ante, or else the hosts could make a roaring comeback into the series.

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.
