Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) recently shared a light-hearted behind-the-scenes video on their social media channels, capturing a humorous incident involving Virat Kohli’s perfume. The playful moment featured Rajat Patidar, Yash Dayal, and Swastik Chikara, who shared a cheeky story about Chikara using Kohli’s fragrance without seeking permission. The clip quickly went viral on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, giving fans a glimpse into the camaraderie within the RCB camp.
RCB’s campaign in IPL 2025 began on a positive note with a commanding win over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).

Yaash Dayal further joked that Swastik didn’t even try to hide his actions, as if it was the most natural thing to do. Even Virat himself was momentarily puzzled, wondering what was happening. Rajat Patidar humorously added, “Virat bhai was right there, and I was just wondering, what is this guy doing?”
When Swastik was asked to explain his boldness, he gave a cheeky response, claiming that he considered Kohli as an “elder brother.” In his playful defense, Chikara said he was merely ensuring that the iconic cricketer was using a good fragrance.

This amusing anecdote not only entertained fans but also showcased the relaxed, brotherly bond that exists in the RCB dressing room.
