From Sachin Tendulkar to Rashid Khan: Cricket fraternity extend wishes to Virat Kohli on his birthday

Indian captain Virat Kohli is celebrating his 33rd birthday today (November 5). The cricket fraternity, including former and current players, extended their best wishes to the run-machine of Indian cricket.

Kohli is currently captaining the Indian team in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2021 in United Arab Emirates (UAE). He is the leading run-scorer in international cricket when it comes to batters from the current era. The Delhi-lad has scored 23,159 runs in 443 matches.

Batting legend Sachin Tendulkar wished Kohli on his birthday. He took to Twitter and wrote: “Many happy returns of the day @imVkohli Wishing you a wonderful year ahead full of success, happiness and good health.”
