South African pacer Dale Steyn gives a perfect reply to a fan, saying Jasprit Bumrah is a better bowler than him

Jasprit Bumrah has been one of the biggest finds of Indian cricket in recent years. With the ability to choke batters with his accurate Yorkers at will, Bumrah is surely among the best bowlers in world cricket today. But is he already better than legends like former South African pacer Dale Steyn? At least, his fans think so and one of them decided to tell it to Steyn.

“Bumrah is better than you,” wrote a fan replying to Steyn’s tweet about his recent fishing experience. The comment seemed totally misplaced but the former Proteas pacer handled the situation rather gracefully proving why he is considered a legend.

“I’m sure he is, I’m retired,” wrote Steyn.

Check out the tweet:

Steyn announced retirement from all forms of cricket in August last year after dominating international cricket for over a decade. Representing South Africa in 93 Tests in his career, the 38-year-old picked 439 wickets at an impressive average of 22.95. Had his career not been marred with injuries in the latter half, Steyn surely could have registered his name in the club of bowlers with 500 Test wickets.

Steyn’s number in the limited overs cricket has also been impressive. He had picked 196 wickets from 125 ODIs with an average of 25.95 and an economy rate of just 4.87.

The South African had pulled out of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 and eventually announced his retirement in August the same year. He is currently serving as the pace bowling coach for SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH)  in the ongoing season of the lucrative T20 league.

Bumrah on the other hand has also had a dream run in his career so far becoming India’s go-to bowler in all formats of the game. And while we aren’t sure about his comparison with Steyn or any other pacer, Bumrah is surely on his way to becoming one of the biggest legends of the game.

The right arm pacer has picked 123 wickets in 29 Tests, 113 wickets in 70 ODIs and 67 wickets in 57 T20Is so far. Bumrah was also named as India’s vice-captain in T20Is and Tests as Rohit Sharma took over the captaincy in all formats of the game.

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.
