Dale Steyn predicts that KL Rahul can become captain of RCB
Virat Kohli is all set to step down as the captain of the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) after the conclusion of the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Kohli, who had earlier announced his decision to leave Team India’s T20 captaincy, confirmed that he will not lead RCB after the 2021 edition of IPL.
RCB will be in the market, looking for an ideal replacement for Kohli as the captain of the side after the current season. While many have touted AB de Villiers to lead the side after Kohli, former South Africa pacer Dale Steyn has named a former RCB star as a perfect long-term captaincy replacement for Kohli. Steyn wants Punjab Kings (PBKS) superstar KL Rahul to return to RCB and lead the side.
Rahul is currently leading Punjab Kings in IPL and has been one of the most consistent batsmen in the league over the last few years. Rahul was part of the RCB squad but was let go of by the franchise ahead of the 2018 season before being picked by Punjab Kings in the auction.
Steyn feels RCB should try to get Rahul back if they want a long-term replacement for Kohli. RCB are yet to win their maiden IPL title while Rahul also failed to take PBKS to playoffs in his debut season as the captain of the side.
“If RCB are going to look at a long-term contender as captain, they should be looking within their own borders. The name I’ve got is an ex-Bangalore player. It’s KL Rahul. I just have a feeling he is going to return back to Bangalore in next year’s auction,” Steyn told ESPNCricinfo.

What monkey fled with a bag containing evidence in it: Read full story
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.
