IPL 2025: RCB Youngster ‘Steals’ Virat Kohli’s Perfume
RCB’s young player Swastik Chikara amusingly confessed to using Virat Kohli’s perfume, calling him an "elder brother" while sharing a lighthearted moment with the star batter.

Virat Kohli is known for his aggressive attitude on the field. But off the field, he has a warm and caring nature. This was recently revealed by his Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) teammate Swastik Chikara.
Swastik Chikara Shares a Funny Incident
In a video posted by RCB on social media, Chikara called Kohli an “elder brother” who makes the team feel like a family. He also shared a funny story about trying Kohli’s perfume without asking him.
Chikara expected Kohli to scold him, but instead, the RCB star reacted in a friendly way.
“I was just checking his perfume to make sure it was good. So, I tried it. Then Virat Bhaiya asked me how it was. I said it’s nice, and I was just testing it for him,” Chikara said with a smile.
Virat Kohli’s Brotherly Nature
This is not the first time Kohli has shown his friendly side. In IPL 2024, Kolkata Knight Riders’ Rinku Singh broke a bat that Kohli had gifted him. Kohli playfully scolded him but also laughed about it.
Kohli’s bond with younger players shows why he is respected not just as a cricketer but also as a leader.
RCB Starts IPL 2025 With a Win
Virat Kohli began IPL 2025 in style, scoring 59 runs off 36 balls in RCB’s opening match against Kolkata Knight Riders.
With a win in their first game, RCB is now preparing for a big match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on March 28. Fans are hopeful that this could be the season when RCB finally lifts their first IPL trophy.
