Rajasthan Royals’ Trent Boult looked in exceptional form as he picked two back-to-back wickets in the very first over of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) innings on Sunday. Boult produced an amazing in-swinger to dismiss LSG captain KL Rahul off the first ball and then picked Krishnappa Gowtham off his second delivery of the same over. The early fall of wickets provided Rajasthan Royals with the much-needed upper hand it needed after failing to put on a challenging target on the board.

After the match, Boult revealed that it was his teammate James ‘Jimmy’ Neesham, who gave him the idea to bowl around the wicket to KL Rahul. In the post-match interview, Boult said that he doesn’t want to give Neesham the credit, but admitted it was his idea to bowl around the wicket. The Kiwi added that they decided on it at breakfast in the morning. Boult finished the game with a bowling figure of 4-0-30-2.

“It was a late call at breakfast in the morning and without giving Jimmy Neesham too much of a plug, it was his idea. KL is a quality player and he has probably hit my number many times and played really nicely against me. But obviously nice for a plan like that to come off and it’s always nice to uproot the stumps. My role with the new ball is to try and be as aggressive as possible and take wickets in the powerplay and today was a good feeling to get a couple there,” Boult said.

RR vs LSG

Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul won the toss and chose to field first. Rajasthan batted first and scored 165/6 in 20 overs, thanks to a brilliant performance from Shimron Hetmyer. Devdutt Padikkal also played a part, scoring 29 runs off 29 balls. Jason Holder and Krishnappa Gowtham of Lucknow both took two wickets each, while Avesh Khan scalped one.

Lucknow failed to chase down the target in the second innings, being reduced to 162/8 in 20 overs, owing to some excellent bowling from Yuzvendra Chahal and Trent Boult. Chahal picked up four wickets, whereas Boult picked two.

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.
