Virat Kohli became a victim of a prank played on him by his own Royal Challengers Bengaluru teammates with Tim David playing a main part. After RCB’s win over Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur on Sunday, April 13, David hid one of Kohli’s bat in his kit bag when the opening batter wasn’t present in the dressing room. He also involved the rest of the teammates all along with the coach in the prank.
After Virat Kohli arrived in the dressing room, he noticed that his one bat was missing and asked everyone in the dressing room if anyone had seen his bat. However, none of them provided any details to him. After that, Kohli was seen a little agitated before he finally found his bat hidden in Tim David’s kit bag. After that, when Kohli went to confront David, the Australian said that he didn’t steal his bat but borrowed it.
