Again, Swastik Chikara’s actions have drawn attention. During Virat Kohli’s birthday celebrations, the RCB youngster bit the star batter’s fingers while being offered a piece of cake after cheekily using his scent without his consent. Kohli had to ask the child to release his fingers in jest since they both started laughing. The birthday celebration of the young cricket player was shared on RCB’s social media account following their defeat by Gujarat Titans in their opening IPL 2025 home match.

Kohli was fed a slice of cake by the toddler. Chikara chewed his finger in addition to consuming it when it was Kohli’s turn to do the same. Kohli was heard saying, “Arey bhai ungli chhod meri (!!)” in the video.
“Virat bhai se 2-3 ghadi gift karwa do” (ask Virat Kohli to give me two or three watches).
Chikara, in the meantime, gave cake to other players who were all around him, including Rajat Patidar, Andy Flower, and Dinesh Karthik, and thanked the squad and support personnel for making his birthday special.
Will Swastik Chikara play in his first RCB match?
Even though RCB lost to GT in their home return, there were smiles in the dressing room. When the cameraman moved up to him, Swastik boldly requested that Kohli give him two or three watches.
It appears that the rising star and Kohli have quickly developed a unique bond. In the forthcoming games, supporters asked the management to give Swastik an opportunity to start in the starting lineup. The rising star can support his claims with statistics.
In the UP T20 League’s first season, the youthful batter amassed 494 runs for the Meerut Mavericks, including three hundreds and 26 sixes. Swastik finished the tournament as the second-highest run scorer, but he had a strong season and performed even better in the following one, hitting 499 runs at an incredible strike rate of 185, including an incredible 47 sixes.
