Possibly one of the best cricketers India has ever produced is the daring batsman Virat Kohli. The veteran followed in the footsteps of the late Sachin Tendulkar, the batter from India, and his level of fitness is on par with the finest sportsmen in the world. As the right-hander developed into the most dependable all-format run-scorer of his time, he discovered the safest way to rack up runs and made incredible chases seem easy. The Delhi-born former captain of India turned 35 on Sunday, November 5.
His Bollywood actress wife, Anushka Sharma, wrote a poignant message wishing the player well on social media on his special day.
“He truly excels in whatever capacity he plays in life! but inexplicably keeps adding feathers to his magnificent hat Anushka Sharma wrote as the caption for her Instagram photo, “I love you through this life and beyond and endlessly so, in every shape and form, through it all, whatever it may be, @virat.kohli.”

Highlights from India’s match against South Africa in Kolkata include Virat Kohli.
On November 5, India will play South Africa in the ongoing ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup at Kolkata’s famed Eden Gardens. The Men in Blue are now at the top of the points table and were the first team to secure their spot in the semi-finals, having won all seven of their games thus far. South Africa is the other side that has guaranteed a semi-final position; however, they are currently trailing India in the rankings.
In Kolkata, the City of Joy, during the highly anticipated match, Kohli will be the center of attention. On his special day, the former captain of India will play in his 289th ODI match. It is expected that he will break many records and register his 49th century in the 50-over format.
