Virat Kohli turned 34 on Saturday. He celebrated his birthday with Team India in Melbourne during the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup while wishes continued to pour in from his fans.
Former Indian skipper and top-order batter Virat Kohli is having a great time in Australia in the ICC T20 World Cup 2022, where he is currently India's highest run-scorer. Also, he has become the highest run-scorer in the tournament's history, asserting his dominance in the shortest format. Meanwhile, on Saturday, he turned 34 years old. Consequently, wishes poured in from across the globe from his fans and celebrities. In the meantime, he also celebrated his birthday in Melbourne, where Team India plays its final Super 12 tie against minnows Zimbabwe at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Sunday for a chance to seal its semis berth.
In a clip shared by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) across social media, Kohli is seen cutting his birthday cake along with the team's strength and conditioning coach Paddy Upton, with the latter also celebrating his 54th birthday. As both men feed each other the cake, the team members take turns providing both men with it and having their share of it.
