Known for his sweet gestures throughout his career, Virat Kohli is again in the limelight for gifting a bat to Rinku Singh after losing the match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Despite scoring 83 runs off 59 balls, Virat couldn't save his team from a home game defeat against KKR. However, post the loss, he won the hearts of the fans by gifting his bat to Rinku who is currently in amazing form.
While Kohli is always seen appreciating and encouraging youngsters, this isn't the first time he has done something like this. In the earlier seasons, after the matches against Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK), he was seen talking to Ishan Kishan and Ruturaj Gaikwad during tough phases in their careers.

To everyone's surprise, both players performed extremely well after having a talk session with Kohli. This shows the impact he has on the players and the people around him. Undoubtedly, he is one of the greatest players on the field and one of the sweetest people off the field. His efforts toward everyone make him special and hence, is loved by the entire world.
The M. Chinnaswamy stadium's pitch is known as a batting paradise and a threat for bowlers. However, in the recent match between RCB and KKR, while the first six overs were great, the next 14 overs became a bit difficult for the batters. At the post-match presentation, RCB's captain Faf du Plessis talked about the nature of the pitch and how it kept on changing so much that even Virat Kohli was struggling.
"In the first innings, we thought that the wicket was very two-paced, you could see that when the guys bowled the cutters, back of a length, the guys struggled. We thought it was a decent score knowing that it gets a little bit easier in the evening, there was a little bit of dew that came in. Looking at the way we batted in the first innings, Virat was struggling to hit the ball just because there was lack of pace and the two-paceness," said Du Plessis at the post-match presentation.
