With Virat Kohli’s face being displayed as the promotional banner of the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia despite no longer being captain of the team, a recent video circulating on the Internet is making headlines, which can be good news for cricket collectors.

Another specialty of the bat is that it adorns Kohli’s signature on it’s sticker, making it so much more valuable for collectors and cricket enthusiasts.
