KKR batter Rinku Singh engaged in a hilarious but uncomfortable conversation with Virat Kohli ahead of KKR vs RCB at the Eden Gardens. Set to be played in Kolkata on Sunday 21 April, this will be the reverse fixture of the rivalry. In the first leg, KKR had hammered RCB at their home in the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. One of the highlights of the rivalry was the mutual admiration shared between the players on the two sides.
RCB batter Virat Kohli had gifted one of his bats to KKR’s Rinku Singh in that game. However, it turns out that Rinku broke that bat while playing a spinner in the Indian Premier League and slyly proceeded to ask for a replacement from Kohli ahead of the KKR vs RCB game.
In incident, scripted or not, was caught by KKR cameramen following Rinku who was seen explaining to Kohli how he had already broken his bat. As Rinku was checking out two of Kohli’s other bats, a slightly agitated Kohli asked for details of the whereabouts and enquired if Rinku was asking for a second bat. Before Rinku could answer his question, Kohli told the KKR batter that if he gave Rinku 2 bats in 2 matches, he would be in trouble later in the tournament.
