Kolkata Knight Riders batsman Rinku Singh finally received a new bat from Virat Kohli, following a lighthearted exchange between the two players earlier this season.
Earlier in the season, Kohli gifted Singh a bat following the first KKR-RCB match. However, Singh revealed he accidentally broke the bat while facing a spinner during an IPL match. A video posted by KKR on social media showed Singh requesting another bat from Kohli, who jokingly expressed his concern about running out of bats if he kept giving them away.
