Indian Test captain Virat Kohli took to social media to share stories where he and Yuvraj Singh go on a midnight adventure while on a tour of Sri Lanka. The memories were shared by Kohli in a heartfelt birthday wish for the former Indian all-rounder.

Kohli and Yuvraj have a bonding that’s quite unique and the two share quite a camaraderie on and off the pitch. Their journey began in the early days of Kohli’s career in the international side.

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 shared in his Instagram stories.

Virat Kohli recollected the moment where Yuvraj’s “outrageous” idea had the players in splits. Yuvraj suggested a cycle trip from Dambulla to Colombo a few hours after midnight and just a couple of days away from a match.

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,” Kohli revealed.

The 32-year-old finally went on to wish the former World Cup winner a happy birthday. “Happy birthday Yuvi Pa! Lots of peace, happiness, and prosperity to you and lots of love always. And my best wishes to you,” Kohli added.

Since joining hands in 2008, the duo went on to win a few tournaments, including the most important one – the 2011 ODI World Cup that took place in India.
