T Natarajan may not feature in the T20I series opener against England on March 12 in Ahmedabad.

The NCA is understood to have told the team management of his unavailability at least until March 12. The nature of the injury and the duration of his likely absence couldn’t be confirmed. The BCCI is yet to send out any formal update on the player.

Natarajan was the only left-arm fast bowler named by the Indian selectors in the 19-man squad for the five-match series in Ahmedabad.

Natarajan’s life has taken a fairy-tale turn since the last IPL: he was picked as a net bowler for the Australia tour, but ended up playing for India in all three formats and being part of the T20I series winning squad as well as the Border-Gavaskar Trophy triumph. He also became the first Indian player to make international debuts in all three formats on the same tour.

With his pace, variations and the ability to swing in yorkers on demand, Natarajan finished the three-match T20I series in Australia as the highest wicket-taker, picking six scalps at an economy of 6.91.

Agreeing to the request by the team management to stay back as a net bowler for the four-match Test series proved to be another life-changing moment for the 29-year-old Natarajan, who comes from Salem in Tamil Nadu.

In the final Test in Brisbane, Natarajan was handed aTest debut after Jasprit Bumrah was declared unfit. Natarajan picked up three wickets in Australia’s first innings. Upon returning home, Natarajan said he had goosebumps and tear after Indian captain Virat Kohli had asked him to lift the T20I trophy.

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.
