Find Out How Many Bats Virat Kohli Keeps In His Kitbag For Every International Match

Find Out How Many Bats Virat Kohli Keeps In His Kitbag For Every International Match

Find Out How Many Bats Virat Kohli Keeps In His Kitbag For Every International Match: An intriguing aspect of international cricket is the camaraderie shared among players, even from rival teams. One such heartwarming gesture was Virat Kohli, former captain of the Indian cricket team, gifting a pricey bat to ex-Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir. Despite the intense rivalry between India and Pakistan, acts of sportsmanship like these truly encapsulate the spirit of cricket.

A prolific run-scorer, Virat Kohli is known for his love for cricket gear, particularly his bats. He’s once shared that he carries around 11 bats in his kit for longer tournaments like the Indian Premier League. Virat Kohli’s current weapon of choice is the MRF bat, custom-made to complement his playing style. To capitalize on Kohli’s star power, MRF has even created a special range of ‘Kohli bats’ available for purchase on their official website.

Just like any diligent batsman, Virat Kohli meticulously maintains his bats. He often repairs and reuses them for practice, reserving the fresh ones for actual matches. Such is the charm of Kohli’s batting arsenal that former South Africa captain AB de Villiers once confessed his desire to “steal” some of his equipment.

Thus, it was quite a moment when Amir found himself on the receiving end of one of Kohli’s bats. The exchange took place at a training session ahead of a high-octane India-Pakistan match during the ICC World Twenty20 2016 at Eden Gardens. Kohli, while chatting with ex-Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi, was joined by Amir. In a delightful twist, Kohli presented one of his willows to the left-arm pacer.

Amir, visibly thrilled, was seen doing shadow practice with his new gift immediately. It came to light that Kohli had promised this gesture to Amir during the Asia Cup played just before the World Cup. In the match, India trumped Pakistan by 5 wickets, despite Amir’s commendable bowling figures of 4-0-18-3.

Notably, Amir is among the handful of bowlers who have successfully posed a challenge to Kohli. The Indian star has scored 56 runs in 60 balls against Amir, conceding three dismissals. Kohli’s praise of Amir’s performance exemplifies his respect for the Pakistani bowler’s talent.

To sum up, Kohli’s love for his bats isn’t just about the gear itself. It’s also about the respect he extends to fellow cricketers, transcending national rivalries. By carrying multiple bats and cherishing each, Kohli shows a deep understanding and respect for the game, contributing to his reputation as a cricketing icon.
