Sand artist Sudarsan Pattnaik has given a perfect tribute to Indian skipper Virat Kohli on his 30^th birthday that he celebrated on November 5 (Monday) on the social media.  

Pattnaik made a cricket-themed sand art installation to wish Indian batting superstar Kohli on his 30th birthday in Ayodhya, where he is in to work on a sand art for the ongoing 'Deepotsav' festival.

The artwork portrayed a semi-circular ground with a pitch in the middle, and the dashing right-hander donning the blue shown in profile on the right.

While the bat bearing 'Happy Birthday', and a ball and Virat Kohli emblazoned on the sandy background to complete the installation. The artists also shared a picture of the artwork on his official social media handle with a caption, “#HappyBirthdayVirat Wish you a successful life & great year ahead. @imVkohli. My SandArt at Ayodhya.”

Meanwhile, Kohli is currently spending time and celebrate his birthday with actor wife Anushka Sharma in Haridwar, while the star batsman received wishes from cricketing legends like Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag on the social media.

Kohli also thanked his admirers on Twitter by saying, “Every year you guys send so much birthday love! Time for me to return the love with some added sweetener for Diwali.”
