New Delhi: Hardik Pandya, who had a forgetful outing against New Zealand in the second T20I on Saturday in Rajkot, wasted no time to extract his revenge on skipper Virat Kohli. Soon after the match, India team members gathered in team hotel to celebrate Kohli's 29th birthday.

Kohli, who cut who cut the birthday cake, was dealt with some cake treatment from none other than Pandya. The all-rounder had turned 24 on October 11 last month, and he got the same treatment from India team-mates.

Revenge no.

Pandya, however, said that this is his revenge number 1. And it pretty well served as a warning to other players.

By the way, this is what happened on Pandya's birthday:

Everyone's birthday comes once a year... revenge will be "sweet"
