IPL 2024: RESULTS | POINTS TABLE | ORANGE GAP | PURPLE CAP
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:

Rinku: I broke the bat (you gave) against a spinner.
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)
