Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) began their Indian Premier League (IPL) season with a seven wicket win. Virat Kohli’s unbeaten fifty helped his side claim a huge win over current champions Kolkata Knight Riders. Yash Dayal who is part of RCB revealed an interesting story revealing youngster Swastik Chikara.
Dayal in a short video shared on social media said that Chikara went to Kohli’s kit-bag. The left-arm pacer said, “Once the match in Kolkata ended, we took some time to relax in the dressing room. He walked over to Virat Kohli’s bag, grabbed a perfume bottle, and sprayed it on himself without even asking. Everyone burst out laughing. He didn’t do anything else, just sat there.”

RCB skipper Rajat Patidar said, “Virat bhai was close by, and I was curious about what he was up to”. Swastik Chikara then said, “He’s like an older brother to us, so I was just making sure he wasn’t using something that smelled bad. I decided to try it out. When he asked how it was, I told him it was nice. I just wanted to check before letting you know.”
Who is RCB youngeter Swastik Chikara?
The 19-year-old Swastik Chikara is an upcoming star from Uttar Pradesh and is known to be a hard-hitting batter and off spin bowler. Chikara is being touted as one of the best young talents in India and is yet to make his IPL debut. So far, Chikara has played four T20 games and scored 15 runs. He has also played six List A matches scoring 200 runs which includes a century.
RCB are set to take on Chennai Super Kings in their next game that is set to be played on Friday. It is to be noted that RCB haven’t beaten CSK in Chepauk since 2008. The last time these two sides met was during the IPL 2024 season where RCB beat Chennai to pip the former champions and reach the playoffs.
Chennai Super Kings come into the game on the back of their win over Mumbai Indians. Noor Ahmad picked four wickets or the hosts, while Rachin Ravindra and Ruturaj Gaikwad scored half-centuries for their side.
