Suyash Sharma, the talented young spinner from the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), who were the glorious champions of the IPL 2025 season and clinched their first-ever trophy, recently participated in a fun and engaging chat.
Currently showcasing his skills in the Outer Delhi League, Suyash took a break from the intense cricketing action to join television personality Shefali Bagga for an informal rapid-fire game that has since captured the attention of fans. Shefali acted as the host of this little game, bringing her vibrant energy to the interaction.
The rules of the game were simple yet revealing: Shefali would fire off a single word, and Suyash had to immediately respond with the name of the first cricketer that came to his mind. The exercise was designed to bypass any pre-meditated answers, providing an authentic look into the young player’s perceptions of his peers and seniors in the cricketing fraternity.
The elite RCB icons from Virat Kohli to Chris Gayle and responses from Suyash Sharma
During the initial phase of the word association game, Suyash’s responses were a reflection of the established hierarchy and reputation of players in modern cricket. When Shefali said “King,” his immediate and unsurprising response was “obviously Kohli,” a direct nod to Virat Kohli‘s unparalleled status in the sport. The association was so strong that when asked “Run Machine,” Suyash once again instantly replied, “obviously Kohli,” solidifying his belief in Kohli’s consistent run-scoring prowess.
The word “Most stylish” brought the name of Nitesh Rana to his mind, highlighting the batter’s elegant and graceful technique. The term “Consistent” led to a quick mention of Jitesh Sharma, a testament to his reliable performances. For the ultimate tag of “GOAT” (Greatest of All Time), Suyash chose the legendary Chris Gayle, a nod to the Jamaican’s unmatched power and dominance in the T20 format. Finally, when asked for “Death over specialist,” he named Josh Hazelwood, recognizing the Australian fast bowler’s precision and skill in the crucial final overs of an innings.

The second part of the game delved into more personal and behind-the-scenes observations, revealing a funnier and more human side of the cricketers. Suyash’s responses for these words were less about statistics and more about personal knowledge and reputation within the team environment. When asked “Desi boy,” he immediately named Swastik Chikara, a choice that likely reflects a personal camaraderie. His response to “Who’s always late?” was a humorous nod to a teammate, Harshit Rana, suggesting a shared, lighthearted anecdote.
For the word “Funniest,” he chose Digvesh Rathi, indicating Rathi’s role as a character who keeps the team environment lively. The term “Speed” prompted the name Simarjeet, likely in recognition of his fast-bowling abilities. When asked for “Clutch,” he named Mayank Rawat, associating him with the ability to perform under pressure. Finally, the phrase “Golden arm,” which refers to a bowler who can take a wicket at a crucial moment, led to his choice of Krunal Pandya, acknowledging the all-rounder’s knack for breaking partnerships.
