New Delhi: Virat Kohli turned 36 on Tuesday and the cricket fraternity and fans are celebrating the master batter’s birthday by sending heartfelt wishes on social media. Among the cricketers, Kohli’s former India teammate Yuvraj Singh led the way in wishing the great batter on his 36th birthday.
Kohli’s lean patch on the ground hasn’t impacted his popularity as he remains biggest sporting icons in the world. #HappyBirthdayKingKohli has been the top trend since Monday evening on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) with fans remembering and revisiting his greatest moments on and off the field.
Yuvraj was part of the Indian team when Kohli made his international debut during an ODI series against Sri Lanka in 2008. The left-handed batter played 11 ODIs and three T20Is under Kohli’s captaincy during the end of his career.
Yuvraj also played with Kohli in the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).
With just 192 runs to his name in 10 innings, Kohli is going through one of the worst phases in his Test career. However, the master batter has shown before how to turn setbacks into comebacks and the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia could prove to be a perfect opportunity for the Delhi dasher to bounce back.
Here’s how Yuvraj and others wished Kohli on his birthday
Wishing you a very Happy Birthday #KingKohli! The greatest comebacks emerge from our setbacks and the world eagerly looks forward to your solid comeback 🔥 you’ve done it in the past and I’m sure you will do it yet again 💪🏻🙌🏻 God bless! lots of love ❤️ @imVkohli pic.twitter.com/wo9hrzUehq
