But later the former Indian captain showed up and Siraj rushed to the door and gave him an emotional hug.
Siraj said, "When I was selected in the IPL for the first time, I decided I would buy a house to keep my family happy. I also called Virat bhaiya and the team to my new house. Initially, he said that his back spasm and he won't be able to come. But on the day when I opened the door and I saw Virat bhaiya, I was so happy that I ran towards him and hugged him. I told everyone 'Toli Chauki mein Virat Kohli aaya hai.'"
