“He played like a school boy” Former Cricketer Dale Steyn slams Suresh Raina batting against Mumbai Indians

One of the senior members of the Chennai Super Kings team Suresh Raina lasted merely six balls against Mumbai Indians in Dubai on Sunday. He scored four runs and was dismissed. The CSK star looked puzzled against the pace and movement of New Zealand’s Trent Boult, who eventually dismissed him. Former South African pacer Dale Steyn while speaking on ESPNcricinfo, reckoned that Raina looked like a “school-boy” cricketer.

“He (Suresh Raina) didn’t want anything of it. He looked like a school boy cricketer at a point. I couldn’t believe this is an international player doing what he was doing, almost embarrassing that he broke his bat and got out. Had that gone for six, maybe I won’t have said that but it is what we saw,” he said.

Meanwhile, young CSK opener Ruturaj Gaikwad laid the foundation with an unbeaten 58-ball 88 before Dwayne Bravo led an excellent bowling display to power CSK to a crushing 20-run win over MI.

Gaikwad batted through the innings to lift Chennai Super Kings from a precarious 7/3 to 156 for six as the IPL-14 resumed in the UAE after the first phase in India was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic in May.

With the win, CSK went top of the points table edging Delhi Capitals. The Dhoni-led side looks good to make the playoffs. An experienced skipper like Dhoni would realise that they somehow scraped through against the defending champions in the UAE leg opener.

CSK will take on Virat Kohli-led RCB in their next match on September 24.

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.
