‘Mera bat? Spinner pe tod diya tune?’ – Virat Kohli not in mood to give another bat to Rinku Singh

Rinku Singh met Virat Kohli outside the dressing room at the Eden Gardens ahead of Kolkata Knight Riders’ IPL 2024 match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Kolkata on Sunday, and the video of their conversation over a broken bat has gone viral.

In the video, KKR batsman Rinku could be heard telling Virat that the bat RCB icon gave him got broken while he was trying to hit a spin bowler. Expressing his surprise, Virat said he is not interested in giving him two bats in two matches.

It’s RCB’s away game against Kolkata after they had lost to the former champions at home in Bengaluru earlier this season in a match where tournament’s current top run-getter Kohli scored 83 off 59 balls.

Here’s the video of the conversation:

Virat: My bat? You broke it against a spinner?

Virat: Where did you break it from?

Rinku: This, from here it came apart.

Virat: What should I do then?

Rinku: Nothing, I was just informing you.

Virat: No problem. Good that you told me. But I don’t need information.

Virat: This bat is no good.

Rinku: Are you sending one?

Virat: Sending to who?

Rinku: You can keep it (returns both the bats he was knocking on)
