Virat Kohli’s global star power is almost always on display whenever India play a big Test series away from home, with the 35-year-old’s face adorning promotional banners of the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia despite no longer being captain of the team. Another example of that could be seen in a recent video on social media in which the MRF Genius Grand King bat, which is what Kohli uses, is being sold for just over ₹1.65 lakh.
Just to put it in perspective, the most expensive tickets that was listed for British rock band Coldplay’s planned concert in Ahmedabad costed ₹35,000. Australian podcaster and YouTuber Norman Kochanek said in his video that the bat is available for sale at a Greg Chappell Cricket Centre outlet and costs 2985 AUD. The bat also has Kohli’s signature on its sticker.
