Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) batter Rinku Singh made an earnest effort to recieve one of Rohit Sharma's bats. Anyhow, Rinku was out of luck as his fellow KKR teammate Angkrish Raghuvanshi ended up being the lucky recipient this time. After the match between KKR and Mumbai Indians (MI), Rinku was seen in the home team's dressing room at the Wankhede Stadium.
In one of the video shared by MI, Rinku was seen next to Rohit, who was inspecting the bats in his kit bag. MI batter Tilak Varma teased Rinku for requesting a bat from Rohit, saying, "Dekho, khud ke naam pe itna acha bats aaya hai fir bhi bat maang raha hai (Rohit) bhaiya se," as seen in the video.
Even MI captain Hardik Pandya joined in on the teasing by creating a sense of fun in the dressing room. "Rinku se savdhaan rahe, satark rahe," MI captioned the video.
Towards the final part of the video, Raghuvanshi had a broad smile after receiving a bat from India captain Rohit. "Yes, I mean, Rinku has been batting really well—for KKR and also for the Indian team, especially in this shorter format. He has been doing really well," Rahane commented.
"The talks about promoting him up the order are happening, but sometimes you have to play according to the situation and decide who is better suited at that moment," he added furthermore.
