Former India cricketer and BCCI GM (Cricket Operations) Saba Karim has said that legendary cricketers and their jersey must be retired to preserve their legacy. In recent years, their have been demands to retire the legendary MS Dhoni ‘s jersey No. 7 as a mark of respect to his storied international career.

While there’s no official development on Dhoni’s jersey, the BCCI in the past did retire batting legend Sachin Tendulkar’s No. 10 jersey after Shardul Thakur sporting the same number while playing for India resulted in a furor.

Karim argues that not only the gesture will be a recognition of the contribution of the legends to Indian cricket but will also be seen as a mark of respect  as well/

“I think not only MS Dhoni’s jersey, the BCCI must also preserve the jerseys of many other Indian legends. They must also ensure that the jersey number of that legend is not worn by anyone else. In this manner, one can recognize the achievements and the contributions of the greats of Indian cricket. Most importantly, by doing so you give some much-deserved respect to such legends,” said Karim on the Khelneeti podcast.

Last year in August, Dhoni announced he’s bringing down curtains on his international career, nearly six years after he quit playing Test cricket. Dhoni though continues to play IPL where he captains Chennai Super Kings.

Karim is hopeful Dhoni will remain linked with Indian cricket post his playing career and contribute towards its further development.

“Although he is no longer part of international cricket, I hope he can continue serving Indian cricket, just like he did all these years. He is grooming a lot of youngsters with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). I wish he keeps mentoring and guiding young players at the state level as well. If that happens, it will be great for the future of Indian cricket,” 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.
