Ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 showdown between the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) builds up, a peculiar incident has stirred up tensions between two-star players, Virat Kohli and Rinku Singh.

On the eve of the match, Rinku Singh delivered unsettling news to RCB's superstar, Virat Kohli. He confessed to breaking the bat gifted to him by Kohli during their previous encounter. Kohli, visibly upset, made it clear that he wasn't in the mood to replace the broken bat.

Recalling the past

This isn't the first time the two teams are meeting this season. In their earlier clash, KKR emerged victorious despite Kohli's impressive performance. However, the post-match exchange of gifts took an unfortunate turn when Rinku ended up breaking the bat given to him by Kohli.

Here's translated conversation of Virat-Rinku

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.
(Rinku starts knocking the ball on a couple of Virat's bats)
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.)
Virat: You took a bat from me previously. Now you want second bat in second game. Because of you I face situations later.
Rinku: I swear on you, won't break the bat again. I can show you the broken bat.
