Legendary India allrounder and world cup winning captain Kapil Dev has questioned the changing mindset of today’s cricketers accepting that while the game has evolved since he his playing days but it’s saddening when someone can get tired after having bowled just four overs.

Kapil was speaking in context of a genuine fast-bowling allrounder which India have been struggling to find since Hardik Pandya picked a back injury but despite recovering from it, hasn’t been able to bowl at full tilt so far. The result is he’s not part of India’s Test setup anymore and the absence of a player of his quality has been pointed out among several other reasons why India lost to New Zealand in the ICC World Test Championship final last month.

“What I feel is that when you play 10 months of cricket in a year, you tend to get injured more,” Kapil said on Sports Yaari on YouTube. “And cricket today is very basic –  you either perform with the bat or the ball. But in our time, we had to do everything. So cricket today has changed. Sometimes it is saddening to see a player getting tired after bowling just four overs and I’ve heard they’re not allowed to bowl more than three or four overs.”

Continuing the discussion Kapil recalled that the mindset has changed fair bit as well. He said during practice, the bowlers would end up bowling 10 overs even to those who would come to bat at the end during his playing days.

“I remember in our time – I won’t say whether it’s right or wrong – even the last player who would come out and bat during the nets, we would end up bowling 10 overs to them as well. So that mindset has to be developed and that helps build muscles. Today perhaps those four overs are enough for them so we feel – for our generation – it feels a bit strange,” Kapil said.

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.
