A video of Rinku Singh, a batter for the KKR, requesting bats from Rohit Sharma has gone viral. In the video, senior Hardik Pandya was checking the rising star of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) after Tilak Varma exposed him. The players that are playing for the opposing clubs this season have some excellent banter.
The Mumbai Indians were ultimately the superior team in what may have been a one-sided contest between MI and KKR. In their first home game of the season, the Men in Blue and Gold won by eight wickets, marking their first victory as well.
The Mumbai Indians recently posted a video on X, formerly known as Twitter, showing a few KKR players in the MI dressing room.
The two KKR players Rinku Singh and Angkrish Raghuvanshi were featured in the video.
Rinku Singh seems to have been requesting bats from Rohit Sharma when Tilak was spotted exposing him.
According to X (previously known as Twitter), Tilak stated, “Dekho khud ka naam ka bats aaya hain, itne achche bats hain phir bhi bats maang rahe hain bhaiya se” (Look, he has bats in his name, has very fine bats, and he is still asking for bats from (Rohit) bhaiya).

Rohit was checking the bats to give Rinku when MI captain Hardik Pandya noticed. He appeared to be reprimanding the young left-handed batter, to which he responded that he had come to meet the five-time IPL champion and legendary batter. The video concluded with Raghuvanshi, the young star of KKR, posing with the 37-year-old’s bat.
Speaking of the forthcoming schedule, both teams will play their next match against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), with MI travelling to the BRSABV Ekana Stadium and KKR returning home for their second home game at the Eden Gardens.
