Aaron Finch reacts after being ignored in IPL auction

Australia limited-overs captain Aaron Finch reacted to the snub in the IPL 2021 Auction and claims it wasn’t unexpected for him. The Aussie opener set his base price for Rs 1.5 Crore but unfortunately, he didn’t attract any bid.

In the IPL 2020, Finch played for Royal Challengers Bangalore where he failed to live up to the expectations of the franchise. Finch managed to score just 268 runs in 12 games at an average of 22.33.

The 34-year-old also had a tough time with the bat in the recently concluded Big Bash League as he scored only 179 runs in 13 innings at an average of 13.76.

Finch said it would have been nice to play in the IPL again but it was not a shocker for him to get not picked in the auction.

“It would’ve been nice to be playing again, it’s an amazing competition to be a part of, but it wasn’t unexpected that I didn’t get picked up to be honest,” Finch was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au.

“I’d prefer to be playing cricket, but a little bit of time at home might not be the worst thing, having quite a full schedule since August when we left for the UK and a few times in quarantine and a lot of times in hubs and bubbles, I think just getting home and recharging the batteries might be nice. I know my wife’s definitely looking forward to it,” he added.

The Australia limited-overs skipper said he is working on his technical faults which pulled him back in the game.

“I’ve been working on a few little technical things, trying to get a little bit less weight on my front foot. At times I can be a little bit flat-footed and my feet get planted and then I struggle to move again. I have my initial movement and then I get a little bit stuck.

He further talked about training under Australia’s assistant coach Andrew McDonald who is helping in sorting things out regarding his batting.

“I’ve talked a lot and worked a fair bit with Andrew McDonald, who I go back to every time things don’t seem quite right and he seems to sort it out pretty quick, so it’s been nice to have a good chunk of training and focusing on a few little technical changes,” he signed off.

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.
