Royal Challengers Bangalore did not have good homecoming in IPL 2025 for Bangalore. In the first match of this season at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru suffered defeat to Gujarat Titans. Now whatever the defeat, it is disappointing for the players and the team. But despite this defeat, the atmosphere in the camp of Bengaluru was not frustrated and the reason for this was a young player of the team, who did such an act in front of Virat Kohli, which no one is sure to see.
Bengaluru had to bear the brunt of bad batting in the match played at the Chinnaswamy Stadium on the evening of Wednesday 2 April. Gujarat Titans achieved the target of 170 runs within 18 overs by losing just 2 wickets. After this defeat, the players of Bangalore were disappointed and discussed their performance in the dressing room and learned the reasons for this result. But as soon as the team reached its hotel, the atmosphere had changed.
In fact, with the start of the new date after 12 o'clock, the birthday of Swastik Chikara, one of the youngest players of the team, was celebrated. As soon as the team reached the hotel, the cake of Swastik's name was ready. For the first time, the entire team including Head Coach Andy Flower, Captain Rajat Patidar and star batsman Virat Kohli were present for the birthday celebration of this young batsman of Uttar Pradesh who came to IPL.
Swastik Chikara Hits The Big 2⃣0⃣ and thats Planty to Cheer About!
Tune in for a bash packed with joy, cake, and a special request to Virat Bhai, All Captured on @Bigbasket_com Presents RCB Bold Diaries!

After cutting the cake, this young batsman first made the mouth of his 'Kohli Bhaiya' and the prank of Swastik started from here. After feeding the cake to Kohli, when the legendary batsman did the same thing, the swastika pressed his finger with teeth. Kohli had to speak to leave the finger and everyone laughed after hearing this. Then in a while, Swastik, looking at the camera, said, "Virat bhai, get two-three clocks gift."
RCB posted a video of this and the fans also gave it a lot of love. The fans praised the fact that the senior and junior players of the team have good mail. As far as Swastik is concerned, Bangalore bought him at a base price of 30 lakhs in mega auction. In the UP T20 League, 499 runs were scored with the help of 47 sixes and came in the limelight. Only after this, RCB bets on him. However, he has not yet got a chance in IPL 2025.
