‘Mahi Bhai is like God to him’: Nitish Rana talks about the comparison between Rishabh Pant and MS Dhoni
The comparison between Rishabh Pant and MS Dhoni has always been a hot topic of discussion. Even though the former India captain has retired from international cricket, there are some who can’t help but draw parallels between Pant and Dhoni due to their similar attacking style of batting.
However, if there is one person who cannot stand these comparisons is Pant himself, reveals Nitish Rana. The KKR batsman recently stated that it really bugs Pant when people compare him to Dhoni since the wicketkeeper batsman feels he is nowhere near the India legend.
“He admires Mahi bhai a lot, to the extent that he sometimes says: ‘If there’s someone I want to see while awake and sleeping it will be Mahi bhai.’ He has even said to me, ‘Why are people comparing me with Mahi bhai, I am not worthy of comparison,’ and while folding his hands, ‘Stop comparing me with Mahi bhai, take my bat and everything else. I don’t want to play, but don’t compare me with Mahi bhai.’ He is like a God to him,” Rana told India TV Cricket.
Rana credited Pant for the tremendous turnaround he was able to produce. Out of the team for his inconsistent show, Pant roared back to form during the Test series in Australia and everything changed from there. Pant’s confidence is at an all-time high right now, but even when things weren’t going his way, Rana explained how he was impressed seeing the wicketkeeper batsman’s strong grit, determinand self-belief.
“His strength is his self-belief. He never leaves that self-belief wherever he goes and whatever format he plays. I remember there was a time when people started criticizing him but he used to tell me: ‘I am just one big innings away, the day I play that knock, everyone will go silent and I believe I am going to play that innings very soon.’ The next match, he made a hundred something, it was during the last (2018-19) Australian tour,” recalls Rana.
“Then he called me back and shared those memes and told me: ‘See, this is how people change. First, they used to say this and now see what they are saying.’ He’s very positive in his life and has immense self-belief and that’s his biggest strength.”

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.
