[WATCH] IPL 2025: Swastik Chikara pushed away in a jovial manner in a team photoshoot

The 20-year-old Swastik Chikara shares a very interesting bond with the 36-year-old Virat Kohli. The duo has clicked selfies, exchanged funny banter, and would often leave the fans in splits with their bizarre off-field interaction captured on camera.

The moment of joy arrived when RCB thumped PBKS ruthlessly in the Qualifier 1 game on May 29 to book their spot for the IPL final for the first time in nine years. Once all the celebration died down, the entire team gathered around for a customary photoshoot following their historic win over PBKS. 

While Virat Kohli remained seated in the front row, Swastik quickly appeared and stood right behind the Chase Master with a rise smile on his face. At first, he was pushed to the right-hand side by Tim David, but the youngster persisted, and in the second instance, he was pushed to the side once again by Liam Livingstone.

Swastik's mischievous behavior with Kohli was evident as his naive nature came to light. The 20-year-old is a promising talent from Uttar Pradesh (UP) and has yet to feature for RCB in a single game. While his IPL debut remains pending, he continues to be considered a promising talent for the future. RCB will face their toughest test on June 3 as they gear up for one last showdown in Ahmedabad, with the hope of ending years of heartbreak once and for all.
