The star Indian hitter turned 35 on Sunday, and his supporters are irrationally excited. In the meanwhile, Kohli is receiving a lot of love from former cricket players, particularly from those with whom he shared a dressing room.
The Indian team is in Kolkata for their next World Cup 2023 match against South Africa. When the men in blue landed in the City of Joy, Kolkata, at the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport, they were met with a boisterous greeting. Large crowds of devotees flocked to see their idol up close.
The BCCI posted a video on its official Instagram account in honor of Kohli’s 35th birthday, along with the caption, “All eyes on the Birthday Boy on Kolkata.”
Yuvraj Singh, a former all-rounder for India, sent a poignant message wishing Virat Kohli a happy 35th birthday.
“It was obvious to everyone that you were destined for success when you joined the squad as a young player who was hungry to perform and eager for opportunity. In addition to leaving your imprint, you’ve motivated a great deal of others to pursue greatness, Yuvraj said.
As you commemorate yet another year of breaking and establishing records, pause to consider all that you have accomplished. I’m honored to have walked this amazing road with you and seen you develop into a stronger person.
“May your zeal and perseverance propel you and the Indian team to unprecedented heights during the World Cup, bringing pride to our country once again. Cheers to #KingKohli’s birthday, Yuvraj said.
On Sunday, can Virat match Sachin’s record?
Virat Kohli is only one wicket away from tying the all-time world record held by master blaster Sachin Tendulkar for the most hundreds in One-Day Internationals (ODIs) with 48 hundreds under his belt. In Kolkata, the former captain of India hopes to tie the record for a century and mark his 35th birthday with a memorable performance.
