IPL 2024: Rinku Singh Playfully Teases Kohli for a New Bat After Breaking His Previous One
Indian batsmen Virat Kohli and Rinku engaged in a humorous banter ahead of the clash between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the Eden Gardens on Sunday afternoon. This is going to be a crucial match for RCB who are eager to get back to winning ways after 5 consecutive losses. They are at the bottom of the points table with just 1 win in 7 matches. On the other hand, Knight Riders will be eager to regain their second place on the tally after being ousted by Sunrisers Hyderabad on Saturday.

Ahead of the all-important clash, the two star batsmen were involved in a chat where Rinku was seen inspecting Kohli’s bat. Later it came to know that the youth had broken the bat given to the spinner. Kohli then inquired if Rinku was asking for another bat. Before the KKR player responded, the RCB star said that if he gives away 2 bats in 2 matches, he will be in trouble later in the tournament.
Kohli had already gifted the bat to Rinku when their teams clashed at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru last month. The last time the two teams met, KKR beat RCB by 7 wickets. After the game, Rinku got a chance to visit the RCB dressing room and meet Kohli and also received a bat from the maestro.
The bond we love to see! 💜❤️
