The reports on Rohit Sharma becoming the captain of the Indian cricket team in ODIs and T20Is after the T20 World Cup 2021 are being rubbished by BCCI vice-president Rajiv Shukla, who has asked the fans and other Team India members to focus on the upcoming tournament towards the end of October.

A couple of days ago, the Times of India had reported that one of the BCCI sources had confirmed that active captain Virat Kohli was definite about giving up his leadership, at least in the shorter formats of the game,  to his deputy-in command, Rohit Sharma at the conclusion of the T20 World Cup.

According to the report shared by the publication, the idea behind the transfer of authority was regarding Kohli wish to focus better on his skills as a world class batsman, while also acknowledging the brilliance of Sharma as a captain in white-ball cricket himself.

The anonymous BCCI source also said that the reason why the Indian cricket board was sharing this news at least a couple of months ahead of the expected timeline, was to prevent tabloids from creating untrue narratives about a power struggle between Kohli and Sharma. The goal was to keep controversy at bay for as long as possible.

However, in an ANI interview, Shukla simply slashed off all the reports of anything like this happening at the moment.

“There is nothing to this rumour. Also, let’s focus on the T20 World Cup rather than playing soothsayer and predicting the future. There have been no talks on split captaincy,” Shukla said.

Just yesterday, BCCI secretary, Jay Shah echoed Shukla’s take on the brewing rumours about the idea of split captaincy between Kohli and Sharma, suggesting that all such ideas are false at the moment and that Virat kohli has no intentions of giving up his right to lead the team from the front.

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.
