Royal Challengers Bangalore are set to retain the services of former captain Virat Kohli and Australia’s Glen Maxwell ahead of IPL 2022 mega auction, as per reports by NDTV.

Notably, Kohli quit RCB captaincy after IPL 2021, and the franchise is yet to name their new skipper. Interestingly, 33-year-old Kohli is the highest run-getter in the IPL. He scored 405 runs last season, and was the 3rd best batter in the side. Kohli is expected to shoulder the batting responsibilities of the team, despite stepping down as the captain.

Kohli was the highest-paid player in IPL 2021 as his salary was Rs 17 crore.

Meanwhile, the retention of Maxwell won’t be surprising given that RCB won’t be able to retain star player AB de Villiers, who recently announced his retirement from all forms of cricket.

Maxwell was bought for a whopping ?14.25 crore by RCB in IPL 2021 auctions and he was outstanding last season as the all-rounder scored 513 runs at an average of 42.75 while being handy with his spin-bowling.

It is worth noting that according to the IPL rules, a team can retain a total four players of which a maximum of two can be overseas. All the eight existing teams have time till November 30 to announce the list of players they would retain

According to a report on ESPNCricinfo, the teams are likely to get a purse of Rs 90 crore in the upcoming IPL auction. The report further stated that the two new franchises – Lucknow and Ahmedabad, can pick three players before the auction after the retentions are over. The combination for these two teams would be two Indians and one overseas player.

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.
