Five birthday wishes that did not arrive for Virat Kohli on his 29th birthday

Steve Smith

Australians and Virat Kohli are not renowned to be the greatest of friends. In fact, after the Aussies mocked the Indian captain at Ranchi where he injured his shoulders, VK went on record to state, “I Can’t Call The Aussie Cricket Team My Friends Anymore.”

Steve Smith is one of those players who Kohli termed he can’t be friends with anymore. The two engaged in a verbal duel at two exclusive events during the press conference after the Bengaluru Test to zest up the Border-Gavaskar series.

Kohli went ahead and accused Smith of ‘cheating’ when he referred to the Australian pavilion in order to consult whether to opt for DRS or not. Smudge then termed the entire incident as a ‘brain-fade’ moment and recently ranted about the entire controversy in his autobiography ‘The Journey’, thereby, rubbishing Kohli’s claims.
