Mr IPL went unsold at IPL 2022 mega auctions
Suresh Raina has gone unsold at the ongoing IPL 2022 mega auction. Raina, who is known as Mr. IPL, had a base price of INR 20 million (Rs 2 crore), however, failed to draw a single bid in the auction proceedings in Bengaluru.
Raina, who announced his international retirement on August 15, 2020, remains one of the biggest names in IPL history. The swashbuckling left-hander has been the mainstay of the MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) since the tournament inception and was a part of their championships run in 2010, 2011, 2018 and 2021. However, the 35-year-old hasn’t been at his very best ever since he returned to the CSK setup when they once again joined the IPL in 2018, after serving a two-year-suspension on the spot-fixing saga.
In CSK’s title win in the 2021 edition, Raina ended with 160 runs in 12 matches at a strike-rate of 125.
Raina has amassed 5,528 runs in 205 matches at an average of 32.51 and strike rate of 136.73. It was expected that CSK would still go for the ‘Chinna Thala’ in the auction proceedings, but the former India international failed to grab any bid in the mega auction; making heads turn.

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.
