Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) youngster Swastik Chikara was playfully teased by his teammates about a viral meme involving Virat Kohli during the IPL 2025 season. RCB’s next match is against Delhi Capitals (DC) on Sunday, April 27.
As the team was leaving for Delhi, Swastik was jokingly teased by his RCB teammates at the airport. Pacer Yash Dayal asked him about the meme, which had gone viral, showing the youngster mimicking Virat Kohli‘s shadow.
“Kuch nahi bhaiya ki dekhbhal karta hu mai. Bhaiya ko paani ki zarurat padi toh pohonch jata hu aur kya hai. Har teammate ke liye karta hu mai (Nothing I take care of him. If he needs water I just reach there what else. I do it for every teammate),” Swastik said when asked about the meme.
He was also shown the meme, which humorously suggested that Swastik Chikara was worried about someone else reaching Virat Kohli to give him water before he could.
“Toh kya hogaya apne bhai ko toh mai hi pilaunga (So what I will only give water to my brother),” he replied.
no way he got flustered 😭😭" bhaiya ki dekhbaal hi to krta hun" , "unhe pani pilata hun" and even suyash got that meme😭🤚 pic.twitter.com/WOMphmHZAS

Virat Kohli Set To Shine In Familiar Ground As RCB Seek Revenge Against DC
RCB will take on DC in their next match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. The last time these two teams met in Bengaluru, DC won by six wickets. RCB will be eager to bounce back and avenge that loss in this upcoming fixture. The spotlight will be on local boy Virat Kohli, who grew up playing domestic and early cricket in Delhi.
With the conditions familiar to him, Kohli will be aiming to deliver a strong performance with the bat in this key match. He has been in exceptional form, scoring 70 runs off 42 balls in RCB’s previous game against RR.
Kohli is currently the top run-scorer for RCB this season, accumulating 392 runs from nine innings at an average of 65.33 and a strike rate of 144.11, including five half-centuries. His form has been crucial to the team’s success so far.
