Mumbai Indians (MI) had a disappointing campaign in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 as the Rohit Sharma-led failed to make it to the playoffs. MI were ousted from the tournament on the final day of the league stage of IPL 2021 despite registering a 42-run win against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their last league game. MI might have endured a poor season this year but they remain the most successful team in the history of IPL with five titles to their name.

In a video shared by Mumbai Indians on Monday (October 18), skipper Rohit Sharma reflected on his journey with the franchise and insisted last season won’t take away anything from the team’s success in the past. Mumbai Indians won the IPL title in successive seasons in IPL 2019 and 2020 before faltering this year to finish fifth on the points table.

“Yes, it was an unfortunate season for us. We are a little disappointed with that but nothing to take away from what we have done in the past and all of those efforts. You are bound to have a season like that where things will not go the way you want to but that doesn’t change the quality and the potential of the team,” Rohit said in the video.

Rohit also gave some insights on Mumbai Indians’ chances to retain their core group of players, admitting that it will be almost impossible for them to have all the players in their current squad back. Rohit said he is aware that MI might not have the same squad for IPL 2022, considering two new teams will be added to the tournament from the next season with a mega auction set to take place.

“We won’t have the same squad, unless some miracle happens. It will be hard not have all of them as part of the same group next year. But, hopefully, we can get the same core group of players and create a magical couple of years,” Rohit said.

Mumbai Indians have a host of superstars in their ranks who will be major contenders to be retained by the franchise. The likes of Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Ishan Kishan and Kieron Pollard among others will be the players MI will be looking to keep depending on the number of retentions allowed ahead of the mega auction.

Mumbai Indians have won five titles under Rohit’s captaincy, who might be the first-choice retention and will be leading the side for the next couple of years.

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.
