It all started on May 29 when RCB hosted KKR at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. After his impressive knock of 83 runs off 59 balls, Kohli obliged to Rinku Singh’s request and gifted him one of his own bats. The elated Rinku later shared a picture of the bat on social media, which went viral
However, three weeks later, as KKR prepared to host Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Eden Gardens, Rinku approached Kohli once again, this time with a surprising revelation – he had broken the bat Virat Kohli had gifted him earlier. The incident was captured by Kolkata Knight Rider’s cameraman and posted on their official social media page.
In the video, Rinku explains that he broke the bat while facing a spinner. Kohli asks for details about how the bat broke. He then tells Rinku that he would be in trouble if he keeps giving out bats during the tournament. Despite Rinku’s attempts to explain and reassure Kohli that he won’t break the bat again, Kohli appears to be in a playful mood, teasing the youngster.
The incident highlights the bond between players in the IPL, where such interactions, though serious, often carry a sense of camaraderie and sportsmanship. Kohli’s reaction, though stern at first, seemed to be more light-hearted as the conversation progressed, showing the mutual respect between the players.
As both teams gear up for the crucial match, all eyes will be on Kohli, who will be eager to lead RCB to victory and keep their playoff hopes alive. Meanwhile, Rinku Singh will be looking to make amends and make an impact for KKR on the field.
