Veteran cricketer and commentator Sunil Gavaskar has advised players for ‘not trying hard’ when playing for their country if Indian Premiere League (IPL) is around. The legendary batter also opined that IPL is a career changing tournament and players need to ensure they remain fully fit to participate in the T20 league, and enjoy the “security that an IPL contract guarantees”.

In his column writing for The Times of India, Gavaskar wrote that people were more interested in the two-day IPL 2022 mega auctions than the recently concluded three match ODI series against West Indies. “The auction is a life-changing one for all the players as it opens doors to a secure future for them and their families. That can also lead to some to not try as hard when playing for their country, especially when the IPL is round the corner, so to speak,” Gavaskar wrote

IPL is perfect platform to prove national selectors wrong: Gavaskar   

Gavaskar wrote, “For those who were unlucky, it’s an opportunity to prove that it was a mistake not to pick them and with more matches and teams in the IPL, there is always an opportunity to be a replacement player.”

“This is to ensure that there is no injury that will prevent them from being fit for the IPL and missing out on the security that an IPL contract guarantees. So the diving and sliding, or the hard throws from the deep, are not attempted for fear of doing some damage that will mean withdrawal from the IPL,” he added.

The 2022 IPL is set to start in the last week of March, and is scheduled to run till May end. BCCI is planning to conduct the entire tournament on just one venue in Mumbai, which has multiple grounds and avoid travel and the debacle of 2021 edition. Along with the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai also has two other grounds that have hosted international matches: the Brabourne Stadium and the DY Patil stadium.

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.
