Having dominated the game for more than ten years, Virat Kohli is arguably one of the best cricketers of all time. He is a cricket hero because of his extraordinary batting ability, unrelenting work ethic, and leadership characteristics. Aspiring players all around have new standards set by Kohli's consistency and under-pressure performance.
Internet fraternity wishes Virat Kohli on his 36th Birthday
On Virat Kohli's 36th birthday, fan tributes and sincere wishes were all over the internet. Celebrating his achievements and legacy, the cricketing hero was showered with love and respect on social networking sites. Fans shared unique posts, videos, and memories that showed how Kohli changed the sport and how passionate he is about it.
Turning 36 on November 5, 2024, Indian cricket superstar Virat Kohli marks again another turning point in his remarkable career. Kohli has become among the best players in international cricket over years, surpassing every level of performance for India. His career has been one of records, extraordinary success, and personal development; nevertheless, new difficulties and expectations await him as he enters his 36th year.
During India's World Cup match against South Africa at Eden Gardens on November 5, 2023, Kohli dazzled supporters with his 49th ODI century, giving them a wonderful birthday celebration. Just ten days later, he made history as the first player to hit 50 ODI hundreds, breaking Sachin Tendulkar's record in front of a joyful audience that included his wife Anushka Sharma. For Kohli, who had crossed yet another amazing mark, it was a perfect birthday month.
But 2024 has been a different year. Kohli has not yet matched the birthday enchantment of the last year as he turns 36; there is no grand century or spectacular performance to commemorate the occasion. November 2023 marks his last ODI century; since then, he has not added another to his total. Although his batting style is under intense examination, particularly as Kohli moves into the next stage of his career, opinions about his future keep changing.
Kohli's retirement from T20 Internationals after the ICC T20 World Cup in 2024 marks one of the main developments. In a fitting goodbye to the style, Kohli was instrumental in India's victory; he scored a vital 76 in the last and received Player of the Match honours.
Now Virat Kohli is anticipated to play a key role for India in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy this month, as India looks to bounce back from a 3-0 series loss to New Zealand at home.
