Some senior Indian players don’t like to be told what to do: Mumbai Indians fielding Coach
The Indian Premier League (IPL) despite starting off on the scheduled date, saw the COVID-19 pandemic have the last laugh as the cash-rich tournament got postponed. Many players and staff were seen getting infected despite staying in a strict bio-bubble
Amid all this, Mumbai Indians fielding coach James Pamment has revealed details on how things were during the pandemic-hit IPL 2021.
The New Zealander, who recently reached his country from the tournament, revealed that some of the senior Indian players did not like to be told what to do. Pamment traveled with Trent Boult, Matt Henry, James Neesham, and bowling coach Shane Bond back to Auckland.
“Some of the senior Indian guys don’t like being restricted and told what to do, but we did feel safe – at no point did we feel the bubble would be compromised, the challenge was the travel,” Pamment told stuff.co.nz.
The New Zealander further stated that some of the Indian players had family members who were getting sick but continued to do their job.
“But we started to get Indian guys in our environment whose families were very sick. There were bereavements as well and we were taking a bit of a cue from those guys who were saying ‘no, we want to carry on’ and the messages were coming back that this is a good distraction. And it is an Indian league, run by Indian people for the Indian audience in the main and we’re just fortunate to be there to be providing our professional services,” James Pamment added.
As for the Mumbai Indians campaign, the defending champions having won the 2019 and 2020 titles, lost their first match against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
They then beat Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), before succumbing to Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Delhi Capitals (DC). Before the tournament got suspended, they won matches against Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK).

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.
