virat kohli sachin tendulkar first meeting pranked by former indian cricketers irfan pathan yuvraj singh

Virat Kohli pranked first meeting Sachin Tendulkar: Virat Kohli is a fun-loving person, whose funny pictures and videos often go viral on social media. If we say that once such a prank happened with Virat, which he would not be able to forget for the rest of his life, would you believe it? Actually, this incident happened in the year 2008, when during the ODI series against England, other Indian cricketers had played a funny prank on Virat.

Virat Kohli once fell at the feet of Sachin Tendulkar to salute him, but it was actually a prank. Virat told, “These things are probably from the England team's tour of India, which happened before the attacks on Taj Hotel in 2008. I had made my debut for India against Sri Lanka, but Sachin Tendulkar made his debut in that series. I had withdrawn my name in the hope that I would get a chance to play with Sachin in the next series.”

Virat Kohli further said, “When I met Sachin for the first time, I fell at his feet. Sachin was retreating, but I too was not able to say anything. I told him, 'I was told that this That's why I have to do everything. Later I came to know that Irfan Pathan and Harbhajan Singh were also part of this funny incident, who used to instigate other players to do such things. They had trapped me together.”

Virat Kohli did not get a chance to bat in the series against England that he is talking about. Sachin Tendulkar also played only two matches in that series, in which 61 runs were scored with his bat.
