Virat Kohli is celebrating his 31st birthday on Tuesday, November 5. While Team India captain is out on a vacation in Bhutan with his wife Anushka Sharma, birthday wishes are pouring in from all parts of the globe, including some from the Premier League as well.

Having been rested from the ongoing India vs Bangladesh three-match Twenty20 International (T20I) series, Virat Kohli has used the opportunity to spend some time with his wife. It is quite known that Virat Kohli follows football extensively, which is evident from his co-ownership in ISL side FC Goa, but it still was a surprise when Premier League superstars wished the Indian cricket captain on his birthday. Former and current Premier League stars joined forces in wishing Kohli in a video posted by Premier League India's Twitter handle.
