The humorous moment began when players were relaxing after the match and interacting inside the dressing area. Young cricketer Angkrish Raghuvanshi was practicing with a bat, casually tapping a ball while other teammates gathered nearby.
Suddenly, Rinku Singh grabbed the bat and started moving away from the Mumbai Indians area. Teammates quickly noticed and called out to him, asking him to put the bat back. In response, Rinku jokingly said that the bat did not belong to him but to New Zealand cricketer Finn Allen.
Tilak Varma then playfully called out to Rinku, asking him to come back and show the bat. However, Rinku ignored the request and began running away with it, creating a hilarious scene. To make the moment even funnier, a popular film dialogue, “Goti Kalti Maar,” played in the background of the video, perfectly matching the mischievous act.
Tilak Varma could be heard shouting from behind, jokingly asking, “How many bats are you going to take, Rinku bhai?” The video was later posted online by Mumbai Indians with a witty caption that read: “Aur kitne bats loge Rinku bhai?” The clip quickly spread across social media platforms, drawing laughs from fans and cricket lovers worldwide.
Not the First Time Rinku Has Done This
Interestingly, this is not the first time Rinku Singh has been involved in such a humorous bat-related moment. During the previous IPL season, videos surfaced showing him taking bats from fellow players as part of light-hearted dressing room fun.
One such clip involving Rinku Singh and star batter Virat Kohli also went viral last season. The playful interactions highlighted the friendly relationships among players despite intense on-field competition.
Now, with IPL 2026 underway, Rinku’s amusing “bat collecting” tradition appears to have continued, once again entertaining fans through a viral IPL 2026 dressing room video.
