Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Rohit Sharma, who was retained by the franchise for next year’s Indian Premier League (IPL) on Tuesday, said it was “absolutely heart-breaking” not to be able to hold on to their entire core group of players.

Ahead of the mega auction, the four-time IPL champions retained four cricketer  — the maximum number of players allowed to each franchise.

MI dished out a whopping Rs 16 crores to India’s new T20I skipper Rohit. The other three were Jasprit Bumrah (Rs 12 crores), Suryakumar Yadav (Rs 8 crores) and Kieron Pollard (Rs 6 crores). On the other hand, Hardik Pandya, Trent Boult, Ishan Kishan and Rahul Chahar were among the notable players who were released.

The 34-year-old Rohit said releasing “gun-players” of their squad was a hard call.

“As you all know, it was going to be the toughest retention for Mumbai Indians this year. We have had solid players, absolutely gun players in our squad and to release them is absolutely heart-breaking,” Rohit told Star Sports during the IPL retention.

“They have done some amazing work for this franchise, created a lot of memories. So, to let them go was really tough. Four players including myself — hopefully we can form a good core and create a solid team around us,” Rohit said.

With Rs 48 crores left in their kitty, MI will have a chance to buy the released players back during the mega auction ahead of the 15th edition of the tournament.

“The immediate goal is to form a solid team and that will start at the auction. We’ll keep an eye on who we can get, find the right spot for the right players. So yeah, our scouts are doing a fantastic job, watching talents in and outside India. I have faith and belief in them. They have done an amazing job over the years,” Rohit said.

“Hopefully we can find some players that can form a good core,” he added.

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.
