Virat retired from T20 Internationals in 2024 and Test cricket in 2025, leaving behind an outstanding record, including 9,230 Test runs and 30 centuries. He continues to represent India in ODIs and remains a vital part of Royal Challengers Bengaluru. His recent unbeaten 74 against New Zealand on November 4, just a day before his birthday, is another reminder that the hunger for runs is still very much alive.

Birthday Dedicated to Cricket, Love and Togetherness

At 38, Virat Kohli has achieved what many cricketers can only dream of. He has broken records, lifted prestigious trophies and inspired an entire generation with his discipline and determination. However, beyond the stadium lights and roaring crowds, his relationship with Anushka Sharma adds another beautiful chapter to his story.

Whether it is a flying kiss after a winning six, a tight hug after a trophy celebration or Anushka's proud smile from the stands, their little moments remind everyone that even the King of Cricket has a soft spot for his favourite person. And perhaps that is what makes Virat Kohli even more special!
