Bats Signed By Chris Gayle, AB de Villiers & Virat Kohli

Talking about the collection, Shikhar revealed that he had always wanted to have something like this at home. He shared that while playing cricket, he realised he wanted to build a collection of bats belonging to some of the biggest players in the game.

His collection includes signed bats from cricket legends like Chris Gayle, AB de Villiers, Ricky Ponting and Virat Kohli, among others. Each bat also carries a special message, making the collection even more meaningful.

For someone who has spent years sharing the cricket field with some of these celebrated players, these memorabilia pieces are clearly more than just collectibles. They are little reminders of the game, the people he has played alongside and the journey that has brought him this far.
