Mumbai Indians [MI] pacer Trent Boult has admitted that the five-time IPL champions missed their captain Rohit Sharma both, as leader and batsman. And the Kiwi bowler is hoping Rohit can feature in today’s fixture against the Kolkata Knight Riders [KKR].

‘A big hole’

“He [Rohit] was sorely missed [in the match against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday]. He is right up there in terms of experience and runs achieved in this format. So, it was a big hole, but it was a good decision to make sure he is 100 per cent with the amount of cricket coming up,” Boult said during a virtual media interaction on Wednesday in reply to mid-day’s question on whether MI missed their captain during the 20-run defeat to CSK.

Rohit is MI’s highest run-getter this season, with 250 runs from seven games, while Boult has claimed 10 wickets in eight matches. “If he comes in to the playing XI tomorrow [Thursday], it will be great, but we want to make sure he is 100 per cent fit,” added Boult.

Fingers crossed

Rohit had been rested against CSK, while all-rounder Hardik Pandya also missed the game due to a niggle. “They [Rohit and Hardik] are obviously two vital players for Mumbai. And we are desperate to get them back. So, fingers crossed that they will be pretty good to go over the next couple of games,” said Boult, 32.

The defending champions are placed fourth in the points table after winning four out of eight games, while KKR have three wins from eight matches. When asked if KKR’s mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy will be a concern for MI, Boult said: “He [Chakravarthy] is a quality bowler; I hope I do not face him, being a No. 11. I think more importantly it is about the batting unit of Mumbai putting up a good performance and stacking up scores.”

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.
