Mumbai Indians shocked fans when they didn’t retain Hardik Pandya ahead of the IPL 2022 auction, but the decision eventually presented the star all-rounder with new opportunity and a bigger role as Hardik was picked for a staggering INR 15 crores by the Ahmedabad franchise.

Notably, Pandya will not only be playing for Ahmedabad but will also be captaining the side, and being from Gujarat makes him a local lad.

The 28-year-old has been a star performer in the limited-overs format for both Mumbai and Team India and is now elevated as captain of an IPL franchise.

Having played under the captaincy of MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma, Pandya revealed what he would like to imbibe from the three leaders.

“From Virat, I will pick his aggression and passion, his energy which is tremendous. From Mahi bhai it’s the composure, calmness, remaining same in every situation, trying to see what new things he can add.

“…and from Rohit, I would pick the freedom as he lets the player decide what he wants to do. These three qualities if I can pick up, it will be a very good combination,” Pandya said during media interaction ahead of the IPL 2022 auction.

Notably, Captaincy is a pretty new thing for Pandya as he had done that only once at U-16 level for Baroda which is chalk and cheese in terms of leadership at this level.

There is no “manual” for his captaincy but he does have a philosophy which is straight out of Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s leadership textbook.

“I will give an example — when someone is on a high and everything is falling in place, he genuinely does not need anyone, he’s at that point in good space and does not need anyone, I have always believed that when someone is having a bad day, that’s when he needs you,” he said, something that his ‘Guru’ Dhoni has always followed as a leader.

“My philosophy is that if someone is doing well, as a captain, I will not bother him but when he is down, as a person I will be available if he needs me to hold his hand. That’s the motto I would like to follow. For anyone who needs me, I will always be there,” the all-rounder said.

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.
