Virat Kohli, the star Indian batter, celebrated his 36th birthday on Tuesday with his wife Anushka Sharma and two children. Despite a disappointing performance in the recent Test series against New Zealand, Kohli is eagerly anticipating the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, which begins on November 22.
Ahead of the series, Kohli was spotted in Mumbai with his wife, where he was approached by an enthusiastic fan. In a heartwarming gesture, Kohli obliged the fan’s request for a selfie, demonstrating his humility and accessibility.
Earlier, Kohli attended an event hosted by HSBC, where he was surprised by fans singing “Happy Birthday.” The crowd’s affectionate gesture left Kohli smiling and appreciative.
Kohli’s birthday celebrations come amidst preparations for the IPL 2025 auction, where he will be the top-retention pick for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The auction will be held on November 24 and 25 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, with over 1,500 players registered to participate.
Kohli’s recent performances have been below his usual standards, but he remains a key figure in Indian cricket. His experience and leadership will be crucial for India’s success in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy and the IPL 2025 season.
