Defending champions Mumbai Indians will be locking horns with Rajasthan Royals in the 51st match of the ongoing IPL 2021 season at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium later in the evening. The match is scheduled to commence at 7:30 pm (IST).

The MI vs RR encounter is nothing short of a do or die clash for both teams in repect to their chances of securing a much sought after play-off berth.A loss for either sides will put an end to their chances of making the play-offs.

After playing 12 games each and securing as many wins (5), both Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals are languishing at the bottom half the points table respectively. A win in the upcoming contest will keep them alive in the race of making the last four stage but it still might not be enough.Both the blue jersey donning teams would also need to win their last encounters and ensure Punjab Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders falter in their final group assignment.

Rajasthan Royals kept their play-off chances intact after pulling off a sensational chase against Chennai Super Kings in their last encounter played on October 2. Chasing a daunting 189-run target, RR openers Evin Lewis and Yashasvi Jaiswal provided their side with an electrifying start and all-rounder Shivam Dube trailblazed his way to a whirlwind half ton to take the team home. On the other hand, Mumbai Indians would look to wean off a torrid run which continued with a 4-wickets loss to Delhi Capitals.

It has been a season marred by inconsistencies for both MI and RR, which has seen these previous title winners not peform to the best of their abilities.While the middle order batting unit has been a major worrying factor for MI, RR have been let down by their bowling on many ocassions.

In the overall context of the play-off scenario, Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore are the three teams which have qualified for the play-offs in the ongoing IPL season. The battle for the fourth and final spot is very much on between the teams placed in the mid of the points table and the race to clinch the last berth might go down to the wire.

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.
