Former cricketer Sunil Gavaskar is unimpressed with Sanju Samson says “Waste of God given talent”

Rajasthan Royals (RR) defeated Punjab Kings (PBKS) by two runs in a thrilling high-scoring contest in match 32 of IPL 2021, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai on Tuesday (September 21). The RR franchise were all-out for 185 in 20 overs after attacking knocks from Yashasvi Jaiswal, Liam Livingstone and Mahipal Lomror.

In reply, PBKS were on course for an easy win with an impressive 120-run opening stand between KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal (67) before the one-time runners-up surrendered the momentum in the final over, failing to chase down 4 off 6 balls with 8 wickets in hand. Despite RR’s emphatic win, Little Master Sunil Gavaskar wasn’t impressed with Samson’s shot-selection after the RR captain fell for a 5-ball 4, trying to play his shots despite not even settling in the middle.

For the unversed, this is Samson’s third successive single digit score in T20s, after his twin flop shows for India in the Sri Lanka T20Is. Hence, the former Indian opener Gavaskar said on Star Sports, “What has let him down is the shot selection. Even at the international level, he doesn’t open the batting there. He was the second or the third wicket down. And he looks to hit the first ball out of the ground. That is impossible. That is absolutely impossible even if you’ve been in the richest vein of form. You have got to maybe knock it around for maybe twos and threes and get the feet moving and then look to play.”

“That is something he is going to watch out for. Because otherwise, it is going to be a waste of such God-given talent. I have always said that a lot of shot selection boils down to temperament. That is what separates the men from the boys. And therefore, for him to go on and be a regular player for India, his shot selection has to be that much better,” added Gavaskar.

Samson will like to make the most of his opportunities in RR’s upcoming clashes in the second and final leg of IPL 2021. At present, the one-time champions RR at the fifth position following their narrow win over Punjab.

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.
