'We fell down laughing': Kohli wishes birthday boy Yuvraj with 'outrageous' story from Sri Lanka - WATCH

India's Test skipper Virat Kohli recalled a hilarious incident as he sent his wishes to his former teammate Yuvraj Singh on his 40th birthday. Wishes have been flowing in from all corners as the former India all-rounder celebrates his birthday. Kohli took to Instagram and shared a special video on his story to wish Yuvraj while also sharing an 'outrageous' episode.

In the video posted by him, Kohli recalled how Yuvraj made him feel comfortable and welcomed him nicely when he first joined the Indian team. Kohli revealed the duo used to eat out and shop together and had similar likings before sharing an incident that will leave fans in splits.

Kohli recalled how Yuvraj once asked Kohli at around 3 in the morning to ride bicycles from Dambulla to Colombo in Sri Lanka. The Indian skipper said it was outrageous as the Indian team had to play a game after two days.

“I had come in from the Under-19 World Cup; he welcomed me very nicely, made me comfortable, started joking around with me, and we liked similar kind of food. We are both Punjabis, love Punjabi music, getting nice clothes, shoes (chuckles); all these kinds of things have remained common over the years. We used to go out and do quite a bit of shopping together in a group obviously; so the likes were quite similar," Kohli said in the video.

"We were in Dambulla; it was a couple of days off a match and literally at 3 or 3:30 in the morning he goes, 'We are gonna ride these bicycles to Colombo' and I clearly remember we all fell down laughing on the floor because it was just outrageous. We had a match in two days' time.

“Happy birthday Yuvi Pa! Lots of peace, happiness and prosperity to you and lots of love always. And my best wishes to you,” he added.
