“There should be no excuse for this”: Sunil Gavaskar slams Jasprit Bumrah

After their second loss at the T20 World Cup, fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah said that India are struggling from ‘bubble fatigue’ amid the Covid-19 pandemic and the players are feeling the effects of being on the road for six months.

India slumped to fifth in Group II after losing to New Zealand on Sunday and even winning the remaining three matches may not be enough to earn a place in the semi-finals.

“Well, you are playing for India, everything has got to recede into the background. It’s as simple as that. Playing for India is an unbelievable privilege,” Gavaskar said on India Today.

“It’s a huge honour to represent your country because there are millions who want to get the India cap. So you are really privileged to do that. There should be no real excuse.

“You have got to go out there and give it your best. And that’s all the fans are expecting. We all know you can’t win every game,” he added.

The players have been on the road since the IPL season began in April. The test team also toured England before the Covid-hit IPL resumed in the United Arab Emirates in September.

“Absolutely, sometimes you need a break. You miss your family. You’ve been on the road for six months,” said Bumrah after the New Zealand match.

“So all of that sometimes play on the back of your mind. But when you’re on the field, you don’t think of all those things … Obviously, staying in a bubble and staying away from your family for such a long period of time does play a role.

“The BCCI also tried their best to make us feel comfortable … It’s a difficult time. There’s a pandemic going on, so we try to adapt but sometimes bubble fatigue, mental fatigue also creeps in,” added Bumrah.

However, former India captain agreed that this Indian side is a champion team and they will have to sort out why they are not doing well in the ICC tournaments.

“In sport, you are going to lose some. Even great teams lose. Make no mistake, this Indian team is a great, top, champion team.

“But only in the multi-country tournaments, they have not done well. That is something they have to do and not talk of anything else,” he 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.
