Young RCB star Swastik Chikara has been in the headlines and attracted the eyeballs of fans for being the shadow of the former skipper and the batting stalwart Virat Kohli. Swastik has always been noticed around Kohli almost all the time, both off the field and during net sessions.
Meanwhile, RCB’s Tim David and Liam Livingstone got a chance to tease their teammate Chikara during a team photoshoot after RCB won the first qualifier against Punjab Kings by 8 wickets. It all started when Swastik was trying to stand just near Virat Kohli, and his teammates Tim David and Liam Livingstone started pushing him away from Kohli.
The video of Tim David and Liam Livingstone pushing Swastik Chikara away from Virat Kohli also went viral on social media as soon as it was shared by a user on X (formerly Twitter).
Here’s the video:
RCB eye their first ever IPL title
RCB are all set to feature in the final of the Indian Premier League for the fourth time in the tournament’s history. They will aim to end their title drought and lift their first-ever IPL trophy in the 17-year-long journey of the tournament across 18 seasons.
Speaking of their performance in the tournament’s current season, the Red and Gold finished in the second spot on the tournament standings, with nine wins and four defeats, alongside a no-result game in their 14 league matches. They finished their league campaign with a historic 6-wicket win over LSG in the last league match, registering their highest successful run chase in the tournament’s history.
Returning to Virat Kohli, he has been in a sensational run of form with the bat for his side in the ongoing 18th edition. He has scored 614 runs in 14 innings, with a brilliant batting average of 55.81, hitting eight half-centuries. The 36-year-old is also the leading run-scorer for RCB in the ongoing IPL 2025.
