Almost 5 years ago, the Indian selectors thought of finding out a young wicketkeeper-batter. The purpose was to groom him in such a way that he could back MS Dhoni and when needed, can take the field in his absence. That was the time when Rishabh Pant burst into the scene and gradually became a household name.

Like every youngster, it was a dream come true moment for Pant when he played his first match in the India jersey, a T20I against England in Bengaluru, in 2017. From there on, he trained under the supervision of legendary MS Dhoni. The latter’s legacy is such that Pant often gets compared to him. But personally, the 24-year-old shares a great bond with the former Indian captain and is thankful for all the learnings he has gotten from him.

“Mahi bhai is like family. Our relationship is very good. I have learnt a lot of things from him in my cricketing journey. He always says [that I should] focus on processes and the controllable. That has really helped me. You take out the extra things from your mind. His family, too, is great. Sakshi bhabhi, [daughter] Ziva, uncle, aunty; they are such a loving family. I love spending time with him,” Pant told The Week in an interview.

Dhoni has a special liking for motorbikes and his collection is second to none in the cricketing circle. Asked if he discusses anything around cars and bikes with the legendary cricketer, Pant said,

“Right now, I do not have time to focus on anything other than cricket. Maybe 10 to 12 years down the line.”

Pant is currently leading the Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. The team has played two games so far and placed seventh on the points table with one win. They will face KL Rahul’s Lucknow Super Giant (LSG) on Thursday at DY Patil Sports Academy in Mumbai.

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.
