“I would like to invite them for a drink” Former Indian coach Ravi Shastri takes a dig at meme creators
Former India head coach Ravi Shastri said that he finds some of the memes and trolls on him quite enjoyable and wouldn’t mind having a drink with some of them.
Shastri has often been the butt of all jokes on social media and even blamed most of the times for India’s failures in international cricket during his four-year stint with the national team.
But Shastri said he didn’t mind the memes and trolls even though people had a laugh at his expense.
“I quite enjoyed some of them (memes). That’s talent also. When they suddenly make me have a paunch, then it disappears the next day.
“There are bottles everywhere, it is a laugh at my expense. So at least in tough times you kept people in good humour. I would like to invite some of them for a drink,” Shastri told India Today’s Rajdeep Sardesai.
Shastri’s tenure ended after India’s exit from the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 in the Super 12 stage.
India didn’t win a single ICC trophy under him but the former India all-rounder said he is leaving the team without any regrets despite not having achieved any major success in white-ball cricket in terms of world titles.
“This tenure has given me more job satisfaction than anything else. When in this job, you are just with your coaching staff. All you can do is create a mindset that allows the boys to play freely once they are out and giving back something.
“It has entailed a lot of sacrifice, especially in the last year and a half during Covid which cricket has not seen since the Second World War,” Shastri said.

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.
