Virat Kohli Celebrates 36th Birthday with Family, Prepares for Australia Test Series
Virat Kohli, the legendary Indian cricketer, celebrated his 36th birthday on Tuesday with a low-key celebration at home with his family. In a recent conversation with host Gaurav Kapoor during a promotional event in Mumbai, Kohli shared details of his intimate birthday celebration.
“This was probably the most chilled-out birthday I’ve had through all these years,” Kohli said. “It was just Anushka (Sharma) and our two kids at home. It was very relaxed.”
Despite turning a year older, Kohli joked that he didn’t feel any wiser. “I don’t know about being wiser, but I’m older for sure,” he quipped.
Kohli’s birthday celebration was primarily focused on his daughter, Vamika. “The birthday was basically for my daughter. Happens so when you have kids,” he added.
The Indian cricket team captain is now preparing to join the squad for their upcoming five-match Test series against Australia, which begins on November 22nd in Perth. Kohli has an impressive record in Australia, averaging 54.08 with 1352 runs from 13 matches, including six centuries and four half-centuries.
However, Kohli’s recent form has been a cause for concern. He faced criticism after a disappointing series against New Zealand, where he managed only 93 runs. With the Border-Gavaskar Trophy on the horizon, Kohli will be expected to rediscover his aggressive side and inspire India to bounce back from their whitewash against New Zealand.
