After RCB’s defeat against KKR at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, Virat Kohli presented KKR’s rising star Rinku Singh with a special gift, a gesture symbolizing mutual respect between players despite being on opposing teams.

This act followed KKR’s dominant victory, marking their sixth consecutive win at RCB’s home ground. Kohli handed over a bat to Rinku in a heartwarming moment captured in a video shared by RCB, showcasing camaraderie in the cricketing fraternity.

The exchange of gifts highlighted appreciation for Rinku’s contributions as a finisher for KKR and the Indian team.
