On Friday, September 11, Virat Kohli shared the aforementioned video on his social media accounts where he mentioned in the caption that he loves taking care of his bats. He wrote: “For me, even couple of centimetres are crucial for the balance of a bat” as he continued altering his bat. Interestingly, his Team India colleague and Mumbai Indians star all-rounder Hardik Pandya took note of the post and decided to drop a comment below.
Mentioning his IPL 2020 gift for Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya playfully wrote that he will be sending a few of his own bats to his Indian skipper too, implying that he should take care of them as well besides his own ones. Hardik Pandya made his international debut back in 2016 under the leadership of former skipper MS Dhoni and the all-rounder continues to remain a vital cog of India’s limited-overs set-up alongside Virat Kohli. Additionally, both cricketers share a good camaraderie with each other as evidenced by their social media posts.
