Following the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) team’s victory over the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), which enabled them earn a spot in the top two of the points table, cricketer Swastik Chikara showed his respect for senior player Virat Kohli.
The cricket player, who was born in Ghaziabad, has not yet made his debut despite being signed for INR 30 lakh during the auction. However, Chikara has frequently referenced the former Indian captain as his older brother and talked about how much he has learnt from his discipline. This season, he has gained attention because to the numerous displays of his affection for Kohli on RCB’s social media accounts.
Chikara and Virat Kohli shared a selfie in the locker room following the victory over LSG.
Chikara responded by showing Virat Kohli the selfie and saying, “Bade bhai hai hamara,” without hesitation. He is my older brother. “Jab mann kare, tab photo le dete hain.” Permit me to take a photo with him whenever I’d like.
