IPL 2022: RCB beat KKR in a thriller of a contest, check scorecard here

Sri Lanka’s Wanindu Hasaranga’s buy led to raised eyebrows when Royal Challengers Bangalore forked out a mind-boggling Rs 10.75 crore for the leg-spinner at the auction recently. Considering the 24-year-old was preferred over their trusted marshal Yuzvendra Chahal, the pressure was on Hasaranga to deliver right from the first ball he bowled in the opener against Punjab Kings. With figures of 1/40, it was hardly the best of starts.

At the DY Patil stadium in Mumbai on Wednesday, much like the rest of the RCB bowling unit, Hasaranga redeemed himself, returning an impressive 4 for 20 as Faf du Plessis’ men restricted Kolkata Knight Riders to 128 in 18.5 overs.

On a night when bowlers called the shots and 17 wickets fell, RCB huffed, puffed and crawled to a three-wicket victory with four balls to spare. RCB were reduced to 17/3 in the third over. David Willey (18) and Sherfane Rutherford (28) then resurrected the innings with their patient 45-run stand for the fourth wicket. Shahbaz Ahmed’s 20-ball 27 (3×6) boosted the RCB run chase before Dinesh Karthik joined Rutherford to take the team closer to victory.

But there was still drama to unfold as KKR bowlers were miserly. Add to it the terrible mix-up between Karthik and Harshal Patel in the 19th over which could have seen the former heading back to the dugout. Umesh Yadav’s lack of application saved the day for RCB as he sent the ball in the wrong direction. Needing seven runs off the last over, Karthik closed the deal with a maximum and a boundary off Andre Russell.

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.
