Kolkata Knight Riders’ batsman Rinku Singh has managed to get another bat from cricket legend Virat Kohli. The hard-hitting finisher was once again seen following Kohli during KKR’s recent game, asking him for another bat. Over a week ago, the 33-year-old had scored a bat from Kohli after his sensational batting effort grabbed the attention of the Royal Challengers Bangalore captain.
However, it seems Rinku might have broken Kohli’s prized gift from 2023. A video surfaced showing Rinku approaching Kohli, admitting (with the now-famous line “Aap ki kasam kha raha hu” – “I swear on you”) that he had already broken the bat. Unfazed, Rinku starts browsing through Kohli’s kit for another bat.

Virat Kohli’s Reaction
Kohli, initially amused, appears slightly flustered by Rinku’s request for a second bat. He jokingly reminds Rinku Singh that giving away two bats in two games might not be feasible.
Virat to rinku "2 match mai tuje 2 bat du?" Whole conversation 😹🤣 pic.twitter.com/V3MkNmgOmH
