Star batter Rinku Singh of the Kolkata Knight Riders finally succeeded in obtaining RCB star Virat Kohli's bat after making numerous pleas for it. Rinku was previously seen pleading with Kohli for his bat in a widely shared video. Despite Rinku's persistent pleas, the RCB veteran chose not to provide him another willow bat, even after learning the whereabouts of the previous one he had given to the player. When playing against a spinner, Rinku broke Kohli's bat, the star disclosed in the leaked footage. The conversation had occurred before KKR's encounter with RCB.

In their second match of the IPL 2024 match at Eden Gardens on April 21 against RCB, Kolkata Knight Riders narrowly defeated the team by a margin of just 1 run.
But on Thursday at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, RCB defeated SunRisers Hyderabad by 35 runs to end their defeating streak
RCB scored 206 for seven after choosing to bat first. Virat Kohli's steady 43-ball 51, Rajat Patidar's quickfire 20-ball 50, and Cameron Green's 20-ball 37 not out enabled the team to surpass the 200-run barrier in 20 overs. SRH's top three bowlers were Jaydev Unadkat (3/30), T Natarajan (2/39), and Mayank Markande (1/42).
In reply, SRH was reduced to 171 for 8 in 20 overs, with Cameron Green, Karn Sharma, and Swapnil Singh each taking two wickets.
