Indian skipper Virat Kohli turned 33-years-old
on November 5. At present, he is leading the Indian cricket team in their
campaign for the ICC T20 World Cup and will be celebrating his birthday in the
United Arab Emirates. Wishes have been clocking in for the modern-day
cricketing legend since midnight.

Remembering Virat Kohli’s best records on the Indian skipper’s birthday

Fans will be hoping to see him in action as
India take on Scotland in the fourth round of the group stage of the ICC T20 World
Cup. A memorable knock from their favourite player will make the fans’ day
brighter.

steps on the field on his birthday. The last time he did so on the
international stage was in a fixture against South Africa when the Proteas
toured India in 2005. It was the first day of a test match at the Punjab Cricket
Association Stadium.
