Widely regarded as one of the greatest cricketers of the modern era, India’s Virat Kohli is celebrating his 37th birthday today (November 5).
Kohli’s achievement as a cricketer is surreal, to say the least. He has taken Indian cricket to greater heights with his batting and captaincy over the years.
Kohli has represented India in 123 Tests, 305 ODIs and 125 T20Is so far, amassing close to 28000 international runs with 82 centuries. He led India in 213 matches across formats and won 135 of them. His success rate as Indian captain is one of the best in the history of cricket.
Having retired from T20Is and Tests, Kohli has now become one-format player. The three-match ODI series against Australia last month marked his return to international cricket for the first time since March 2025.
The series came at a significant juncture in Kohli’s career amidst speculations of farewell from international cricket. After bagging back-to-back ducks in Perth and Adelaide, the batting stalwart showed in Sydney with an unbeaten 74-run knock that his hunger and purpose remain strong, keeping his 2027 World Cup dream very much alive.
On his 37th birthday, wishes poured in for Virat Kohli from the Indian cricket fraternity on social media platform X.
