Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) pacer Yash Dayal has revealed a dressing room story about ace batter Virat Kohli and Uttar Pradesh batter Swastik Chikara from the first game against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). A video of the same was uploaded by the franchise on their YouTube channel.
When asked how the team bonding is going along, RCB skipper Rajat Patidar said it is going well, with Chikara creating a relaxed atmosphere. When asked about his teammate, Yash Dayal revealed the dressing room anecdote from the first game, saying:
"We are sitting at the dressing room in Kolkata, and Swastik Chikara went to Virat Kohli's bag. Without asking, he removed a perfume bottle and used it, and everyone started laughing. He didn't even ask him, and Virat bhai was sitting as well". (Translated from Hindi)
Swastik, when asked about the same, replied:
"Bade Bhaiya hai na wo apne (Virat Kohli is our elder brother), so I was checking his perfume to ensure he doesn't use a bad perfume, so I tried it. And then Virat bhaiya asked how it was, I said it's nice and I was checking to let you know." (Translated from Hindi).
