The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season is set to get underway in Mumbai on March 26. Defending champions Chennai Super Kings will take on Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium.

The T20 league is set to feature 10 teams once again with Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans being the new additions. The IPL 2022 will also see some major rule changes with regards to DRS, COVID-19 allowances for the teams and the newly-introduced MCC laws.

“Unable to field a team on account of COVID for any match due to having less than 12 players available in the playing XI (of which at least 7 must be Indian) plus 1 substitute fielder,” a BCCI communication according to Cricbuzz website read.

“The BCCI, at its discretion, will attempt to reschedule the match for later in the season. If this is not possible, the issue will be referred to the IPL Technical Committee. The decision of the IPL Technical Committee will be final and binding,” the communication added.

This is a shift from the previous rule which said that the board ‘will attempt to reschedule the match for later in the season. If this is not possible, the franchise will be deemed to have lost the match with its opponent being awarded 2 points’.

The upcoming edition will also have a total of 74 games with teams divided into two groups. Teams who are in the same group will face each other twice while others will play only once.

The 2022 IPL season will also see the number of unsuccessful DRS reviews allowed to a team increase to two per innings. So far, every team has been allowed only one review. According to new MCC cricket laws set to be implemented in international cricket from October 1, 2022, a new batsman will have to take strike even if the player who was dismissed had crossed over before the catch was taken.

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.
