Former coach Ravi Shastri breaks his silence on Virat Kohli leaving ODI captaincy
Ravi Shastri, who recently stepped down as the India men’s cricket team head coach, has revealed that the current ODI and Test captain of India Virat Kohli might quit limited-overs captaincy permanently and completely focus on his batting.
Speaking to India Today, Shastri said, “In red-ball cricket, India has been the number one team in the world for the last 5 years under Virat Kohli. So unless he wants to give up or if he is mentally fatigued and says he wants to focus on his batting – which can happen in the near future, don’t think it will happen immediately – it can happen.”
He further added, “The same might happen with the ODI. He might say he wants to focus just on Test captaincy. It is his mind and body that will make that decision.”
Shastri also said that Virat Kohli is not the first batsman who might quit being a skipper to focus solely on batting.
Shastri said, “He (Kohli) won’t be the first, there are many players in the past who have had very successful tenures and captains and then given it up to focus on batting.”
For the unversed, Virat Kohli stepped down as India’s T20 captain recently. He played his last match as the nation’s captain during the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. Shastri’s tenure also came to an end as India lost in the Super 12 and Pakistan and New Zealand were cleared for the semifinals.
Virat Kohli and Ravi Shastri have surely brought a lot of glory to India and their partnership will definitely be missed by fans.

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.
