“Hope TRP is up due to our team”: KL Rahul cheeky reply after winning against SRH

Punjab Kings (PBKS) bagged their first win of the UAE leg of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 with a thrilling 5-run victory against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Saturday. It was yet another close encounter where PBKS finally came out on top leaving skipper KL Rahul relieved after their 2-run loss in their previous game against Rajasthan Royals.

Punjab Kings managed to put on a paltry 125 runs on the board, batting first at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah but their bowlers delivered a disciplined performance to stop SRH on 120/7 and seal a nail-biting 5-run win. Young spinner Ravi Bishnoi turned out to be the pick of the bowlers for PBKS with a three-wicket haul.

The win also meant PBKS have now successfully defended the lowest ever total in an IPL game in Sharjah. With the three points in the bag, they moved to the fifth spot on the points table, while keeping their playoffs hopes alive in the competition. Reacting to his side’s close win, PBKS skipper Rahul said his side deserves some credit for potentially keeping the TRP high with their entertaining encounters.

“We are playing some entertaining cricket and have been doing so for the last two or three years, but I’ll take the win. Hope the TRP is up due to Punjab Kings,” Rahul cheekily joked post his side’s win against SRH on Saturday.

“We wanted to get another 20-30 more runs but we’ll take the win. There was no pace on the pitch. It was important for our team for Chris and others to get stuck in. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. It gives us the belief that if you put a decent total on the board, the pressure can make the opposition do funny things,” he went on.

This was not the first time this season that PBKS took the game down the wire as in their previous clash against Rajasthan Royals, they came close to victory before faltering in the final over. With just 4 runs required off the last over, PBKS could only manage one run against a young Kartik Tyagi to lose the match by 2 runs and make a disappointing start to the UAE leg of the tournament.

PBKS will now take on defending champions Mumbai Indians in their next game on Tuesday (September 28).

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.
