Mumbai Indians Playoffs Qualification Scenario Explained, Punjab Kings Eliminated from the Race
With two more matches left to be played in this year’s Indian Premier League (IPL), Delhi Capitals (DC), Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have already booked their place in the playoffs. With a spot to play for, it will be a race between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to seal their spot in the final four in this edition of the league.
The road to playoffs for KKR is a lot simpler and they have almost made it impossible for Mumbai Indians to make it to the playoffs. Having won their encounter against Rajasthan Royals (RR) convincingly on Thursday, KKR are sitting pretty at the moment in the fourth place of the table with a net run rate of +0.587.
For Mumbai Indians to make it to the playoffs, they will have to beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by a margin of 171 runs after scoring 200 to have a superior net run rate than KKR. In a scenario where they are batting second, it will be the end of the road for Mumbai Indians in this year’s IPL.
Punjab Kings came up with a terrific performance against CSK with captain KL Rahul leading from the front with an unbeaten knock of 98 off 42 balls after restricting CSK for 134 for 6. Punjab won the match with seven overs in hand but even that wasn’t good enough to ensure a spot in the top four.
PBKS will finish the season in either fifth or sixth place, depending on the result of the final match involving Mumbai and Hyderabad.

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.
