The RCB team kicked off their IPL 2025 campaign with a dominant 7-wicket win over KKR at Eden Gardens, thanks to brilliant performances from their star players and a lighthearted moment that went viral. Young batter Swastik Chikara grabbed attention in the dressing room when he opened Virat Kohli’s bag and used his perfume without permission. 

Left-arm pacer Yash Dayal revealed that Chikara’s act left everyone, including skipper Rajat Patidar, shell-shocked. However, Kohli took it sportingly, laughing off the incident as Chikara claimed he was just testing if the perfume was good.  

On the field, RCB chased down KKR’s target of 175 runs in just 16.2 overs. Virat Kohli led from the front, scoring an unbeaten 59 off 36 balls with 4 fours and 3 sixes. His opening partner Phil Salt also smashed 56 off 31 balls. Skipper Patidar finished it with a cameo. 

Earlier, RCB bowlers did an excellent job, with Krunal Pandya taking 3 wickets and Josh Hazlewood grabbing 2 for 22 runs. Krunal was named Player of the Match for his all-round impact. The morale-boosting victory and the fun off-field moment reflected the strong team spirit as RCB eyes their maiden IPL trophy this season.
