Former BCCI administrator Ratnakar Shetty has claimed that the events leading up to Anil Kumble resigning as Team India head coach in 2021 were ‘shocking’ and that there was a breakdown in the relationship between the legendary spinner and the then captain Virat Kohli.

'Not Standing up For Players, Tense Atmosphere in Dressing Room': Former BCCI Official Reveals Why Virat Kohli Was Unhappy With Anil Kumble

In 2017, less than a year after taking over as the head coach of Indian men’s cricket team, Kumble stepped down in a dramatic turn of events citing ‘untenable’ relationship with Kohli.

“The events leading up to the resignation of Anil Kumble as coach of the men’s team after the ICC Champions Trophy final in June 2017 showcased the murkiness that had steadily crept into the corridors of the Cricket Centre,” The Indian Express quoted Shetty as writing in his book On Board: Test.Trial.Triumph. My years in BCCI.

Shetty wrote that Kohli, who was the Indian captain across formats in 2017, was not happy with Kumble for not standing up for players and creating a tense dressing room atmosphere.

“It was obvious that some people did not want Anil to continue as coach,” Shetty wrote. “The captain and coach did not appear to be on the same wavelength and it seemed that the captain had the upper hand.”

He continued, “I learnt later about a meeting that took place in London before the final of the Champions Trophy, which we lost to Pakistan. This meeting was attended by Virat, Anil, Johri, Amitabh Choudhary and Dr Sridhar. Apparently, Virat was not happy with Anil ‘for not standing up for the players and creating a tense atmosphere in the dressing room’, among other things.”

Kumble’s resignation came after India’s one-sided defeat to Pakistan in the ICC Champions Trophy final in 2017. Ravi Shastri succeeded him full-time into the role and oversaw one of the most productive phases in history of Indian cricket.

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.
