India hockey drag-flicker Rupinder Pal Singh turned 28 yesterday and one of the first people to wish him on Twitter was skipper Manpreet Singh. Manpreet posted a fun picture  of the lanky defender wearing a rooster head-shaped cap, with the message: "Happy Birthday @rupinderbob3 paji — you have been a wonderful brother on/off the field, may this special birthday bring you lots of happiness and success. Rab Rakha."

The picture has an interesting story. It was taken during the Asian Games in Indonesia earlier this year, where coach Harendra Singh had devised some funny punishments for indiscipline.
