Swastik Chikara’s Cheeky Birthday Bash

During a celebratory moment caught on video, Swastik Chikara, the young RCB star, was seen having a light-hearted exchange with veteran Virat Kohli during his 20th birthday celebration. The video, shared via RCB’s official X handle, featured Chikara humorously requesting extravagant gifts and even playfully interacting with Kohli, which led to a funny moment where Kohli exclaimed, “Bhai, ungli chhor meri” (brother, leave my finger) as Chikara pretended to bite his finger while being offered cake.

Chikara’s Justification and Unfazed Attitude

In response to the perfume incident, Chikara displayed a carefree attitude, explaining to Kohli that he was merely ensuring the quality of the perfume. “He’s our elder brother, isn’t he? I was checking to ensure he doesn’t use a bad one. So I tried it. He asked me how it was. I said it’s nice. I was only checking to let you know,” Chikara explained, showing his respect and light-hearted behaviour towards senior team members.

Concluding Thoughts

These surprising but endearing incidents within the RCB camp not only spice up the team dynamics but also attract fans and media alike, keeping the spirits high in the challenging IPL season.
