The Indian fast bowler, Mohammed Siraj, who also plays for the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League, invited the whole RCB team to his house for dinner including the likes of Virat Kohli, Parthiv Patel and Yuzvendra Chahal. 

During the RCB podcast, Siraj revealed that he thought Virat wouldn't be coming since he is a big player and Virat was also suffering from a backache. But when the team arrived at Siraj's place, he saw Virat Kohli getting out of the car, he couldn't hold back and ran to him. 

Since the RCB's first visit to Siraj's house, the team recently again visited which included the likes of Glenn Maxwell, Faf Du Plessis, Josh Hazlewood and Virat Kohli. But the moment that holds a special place in the heart of Siraj, was the time when Virat surprised him with his presence at his house for the first time. 


'The best surprise of my life': Siraj on hosting dinner for Virat Kohli

"I had invited everyone from RCB to my house for dinner. I went home straight from the hotel. When I called him (Virat) up, he said, 'I have a stiff back miyan, I can't come.' I told him to rest. But when everyone came, I saw him get off the car. Everyone was there, PP bhai, Chahal bhai. I just ran towards bhaiya (Kohli) and hugged him. It was the best surprise of my life because bhaiya had said he won't come."

Despite having a backache, Kohli went to Siraj's house and surprised him. Siraj also said that it became news that Kohli came to Toli Chowki. The same incident he shared while he was on the Breakfast with Champions which is hosted by the presenter, Gaurav Kapoor.
