Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) youngster Swastik Chikara has narrated a hilarious incident of Virat Kohli during what appeared to be a team-bonding party ahead of their second game of IPL 2025. Chikara hilariously revealed that he tried Kohli’s perfume without asking him only to ensure the star batter doesn’t use a bad one.
Chikara, who was part of the Delhi Capitals, was bought by the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) for a sum of ₹30 lakh. However, he didn’t play in RCB’s IPL 2025 opener against defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens which they won comfortably. As far as the 19-year-old’s T20 career goes, he has played four matches but has managed only 15 runs.
In a video surfaced on social media, Chikara stated:
“Bhaiya hain na woh apne bade, toh main check karke dekh raha tha accha hai ya bekaar hai. Socha main dekh loon kahin bekaar waala toh nahin laga rahe. Isliye maine laga ke dekh liya. Phir maine bata diya. Woh puchne lage kaisa laga perfume, maine kaha accha laga, main check karke bata raha tha aapko.”
(He is our older brother. So I was just checking to ensure he doesn’t use a bad one. So I tried it and then he asked how it was. I said it’s nice, I was only checking to let you know.)
