CSK player Ravindra Jadeja wants to captain the franchise after Dhoni quits IPL
Chennai Super Kings will resume their IPL campaign against the Mumbai Indians, and they are currently placed second on the points table. After a forgettable IPL campaign last season, CSK bounced back in some style under the captaincy of MS Dhoni. However, MS Dhoni, despite all his fitness and ability, is at the fag end of his career which also means that CSK will have to name a new captain in the upcoming seasons.
Ahead of the second phase of the IPL, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has dropped hints about taking up the role. In a tweet, that has now been deleted Jadeja said he would like to be CSK’s captain when Dhoni calls it a day. This tweet has now been deleted, but fans took a screenshot of the tweet.
In this tweet, Jadeja wrote 8, responding to this query which means that he would like to succeed Dhoni as the captain of the side. It needs to be mentioned here that Dhoni’s jersey number is 7 while Jadeja’s jersey is 8.
In the ongoing IPL season, Jadeja has scored 131 runs in 7 matches at an average of 131. He has also picked up 6 wickets at an economy rate of 6.70. As far as his IPL career is concerned, the all-rounder has scored 2290 runs in 191 matches and his batting average is 26.62. With the ball, he has picked up 120 wickets.
While has been an important member of CSK, it will be interesting to see the captain the franchise appoints. Suresh Raina has led the side in Dhoni’s absence, but he too is nearing the end of his career. Several senior players could well be playing their last season and hence, Jadeja could well emerge as a viable option to lead the side.

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.
