After Lucknow and Ahmedabad picked their respective players, the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Saturday (January 22) released the much-awaited list for the IPL 2022 mega auction and one name which caught everyone’s attention was of former India and Kerala pacer S Sreesanth.

Notably, Sreesanth last represented Rajasthan Royals in the IPL back in 2013 after which he was banned for life by the BCCI in September 2013 for his alleged involvement in the spot-fixing scandal.

However, the ban was reduced to seven years by a BCCI Ombudsman in 2019, and the pacer was cleared to return to professional Cricket by September 2020.

It is worth mentioning that, Sreesanth had registered for IPL 2021 auction too, but he failed to make the cut in the final list and now the Keralite speedster has once again registered for the auction with a base price of Rs 50 lakh, as per ESPNcricinfo.

Before getting banned, Sreesanth had played total of 44 IPL matches for three franchises – Rajasthan Royals, Kochi Tuskers Kerala, and Kings XI Punjab, and he bagged total of 44 wickets.

Interestingly, Sreesanth recently played in the Vijay Hazare Trophy during the 2020/21 season where he picked up a total of 13 wickets in 6 innings at an average of 24.38 for Kerala.

“The players’ list incorporates 270 capped, 903 uncapped, and 41 Associate players,” an IPL release read on Saturday.

Notably, some big names in international cricket — Ben Stokes, Chris Gayle, Jofra Archer, Joe Root, Mitchell Starc, Chris Woakes and Sam Curran and a few other foreign players have decided to skip the IPL 2022 and subsequently didn’t enroll for the mega-auction.

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.
