Batsman KL Rahul has been ruled out of the upcoming two-match Test series between India and New Zealand. The opener will miss the series against the Black Caps due to an injury on his left thigh. Suryakumar Yadav, who was a part of India’s Test squad that travelled to England, has been named as Rahul’s replacement.

“KL Rahul has sustained a muscle strain on his left thigh and has been ruled out of the upcoming 2-match Paytm Test series against New Zealand,” the BCCI said in a release.

“He will now undergo rehabilitation at NCA in preparation for the series against South Africa scheduled next month,” it added.

The first Test is scheduled to be played in Kanpur from Nov 25 and the second Test is slated to begin from Dec 3 in Mumbai.

Rahul was missing from the Indian team’s customary practice session, attended by almost all the players on Tuesday at the Green Park stadium.

Shubman Gill was seen opening the batting along with Mayank Agarwal during the team’s net session as Cheteshwar Pujara, the vice-captain for the series-opener, also batted.

It is understood that one among Shreyas Iyer or Suryakumar Yadav will make his Test debut and bat in the middle order.

Shubhman was expected to bat in the middle order but now in the absence of Rahul, the youngster will be asked to play in his usual opening slot.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had earlier stated that Ajinkya Rahane will lead the team in the first Test in the absence of regular skipper Virat Kohli.

Kohli has been rested from the first Test and will join the team in the second Test in Mumbai.

Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma, who replaced Kohli as India’s T20I captain, is also not part of the Test series against New Zealand.

Rohit, however, made a dream start to his career as the T20I captain and led Team India to a 3-0 whitewash over New Zealand, finalists of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021, in the recently-concluded T20I series.

India’s Test squad: Ajinkya Rahane (c), Mayank Agarwal, Cheteshwar Pujara, Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Wriddhiman Saha, KS Bharat, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Axar Patel, Jayant Yadav, Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yadav, Mohamed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna.

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.
