Rinku Singh grabbed headlines again, not for his power-packed performance in the death overs, but for his gesture for former Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain Virat Kohli. After Kolkata Knight Riders’ (KKR) 21-run win over RCB at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Wednesday (April 26), a picture went viral in which Rinku could be seen touching Kohli’s feet as a mark of respect for the talismanic batsman.

The picture was taken after the end of the match, when the members of both teams came out for the traditional handshakes. When Rinku approached Kohli, as per several social media pictures, he touched Kohli’s feet and later, the 34-year-old hugged the KKR batsman. However, it’s important to say that the authenticity of the video cannot be verified.

After the match, Kohli heaped praise on the 25-year-old batsman for doing amazing things in Indian Premier League (IPL).

Just the other night, Rinku Singh hits five sixes in the last five balls which is amazing and never happened something like that. Coming in and hitting five sixes in a row to win a match, I mean what level is this? So that transition is happening is great. It is great to see such youngsters coming up.
Kohli was quoted as saying in an interview with Jio Cinema.
