Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) batter Rinku Singh delivered bad news to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) superstar Virat Kohli ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 showdown between the two teams. Rinku, who met Virat on the eve of the match, revealed that he broke the bat that was given to him by the RCB star. As Rinku explained how he broke the bat, Kohli clarified that he isn’t in the mood to give him another bat after the KKR star broke the last one.
It would be the second time this season that KKR and RCB would square off. On the first occasion, the Knight Riders had emerged triumphant despite Kohli’s 59-ball 83. The RCB batter gave Rinku a bat at the end of the match, but unfortunately, the latter broke it.
The Knight Riders shared a video of the conversation between the two over the broken bat. Here’s how the conversation went:

Rinku Singh: I broke the bat (you gave) against a spinner.
Virat Kohli: My bat?
Rinku Singh: Yes
Virat Kohli: You broke it against a spinner? Where did you break it from?
Rinku Singh: From the middle.
Virat Kohli: What should I do then?
Rinku Singh:I was just informing you.
Virat Kohli:No problem. Good that you told me. But I don’t need information.
(Rinku then starts knocking the ball on twi of Virat’s bats.)
Virat Kohli: This bat is no good.
Rinku Singh:Are you sending one?
Virat Kohli: To whom am I sending?
Rinku Singh:You can keep it (returns Virat’s bats to him)
Virat Kohli:You took a bat from me previously. Now you want second bat in second game? Because of you, I face consequences later.
Virat Kohli:I swear on you, won’t break the bat again. I can show you the broken bat.
Though Virat refused to give Rinku a bat in the video, it wouldn’t be a surprise if the RCB star decides to give the KKR lad another one of his bats after the match between the two teams on Sunday.
