Young RCB batter Swastik Chikara has unintentionally become the internet’s favorite meme this IPL season not for his on-field antics, but for his unabashed admiration for Virat Kohli. His hero worship has become such a constant theme.
RCB landing in Delhi to face the Capitals, the jokes are back in full swing. A viral meme did the rounds, claiming that Chikara’s "biggest worry" during matches is being the first to hand Kohli a bottle of water. When shown the meme, Chikara didn’t dodge the humor instead, he embraced it with a smile and a heartfelt response “Toh kya ho gaya? Apne bhai ko toh main hi pilaaunga!” (So what if I do? I’ll serve water to my brother any day!)
RCB's performance in IPL 2025
While Chikara continues to grab attention off the field, RCB are doing their talking on it. They’ve been flawless away from home this season, winning all five of their matches on the road. Their latest victory at home against Rajasthan Royals has only added to the growing confidence in the camp.
But Sunday’s game against Delhi Capitals won’t be easy. DC, currently second on the table, are in top form. The match also holds emotional weight it’s a homecoming for Kohli, who grew up in Delhi and played for the state side. After KL Rahul’s “this is my ground” celebration earlier in the season, fans are waiting to see if Kohli responds in kind.
RCB form in IPL 2025
RCB have been brilliant this season on the road, maintaining a perfect 5/5 record in away matches in IPL 2025. The side also registered its first win in Bengaluru after a long wait in their previous game against the Rajasthan Royals. It will aim to keep its winning run intact against Axar Patel's DC on Sunday.
