Star Royal Challengers Bengaluru batter Virat Kohli jokingly said that he doesn’t want Swastik Chikara as his roommate in a light-hearted conversation. In a video posted by RCB on their social media from the Qatar Airways meet and greet, Kohli was asked to name one teammate who would want as his roommate and one whom he didn’t want as his roommate while travelling.
Reacting to this, Virat Kohli first took the name of Swastik Chikara as someone who wouldn’t want as his roommate as he doesn’t leave him alone. "I wouldn't say it's Swastik Chikara. Because he doesn't leave me alone, so, definitely not him,” Kohli said which left the whole room bursting with laughter. Speaking further, Kohli said that he would want wicket-keeper Jitesh Sharma as his roommate as he is someone who hasn’t opened with him so far.

I would want to see that really fun, raw side of Jitesh: Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli also revealed the reason why he would want Jitesh Sharma as his roommate as he is one of the funniest people in the dressing room. Kohli said that he really want to explore Jitesh’s mischievous side and wants to know him more.
"But one guy I think is really funny, but he's not opened up with me properly, is Jitesh (Sharma). I would want to see that really fun, raw side of him because I can see it in his eyes, he's got that mischief about him,” Virat Kohli said.
“He's (Jitesh) very street smart, you can see on the field, he finds different ways of looking at things. So, I would like to get to know him more,” he further added.
RCB are set to face Chennai Super Kings in their upcoming IPl 2025 fixture at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on May 3. RCB will look to get at the top of the points table and almost confirm their place in the playoffs.
