'King Turns 37!': Yuvraj Singh Leads Charge As Cricketing Fraternity Extends Wishes To Virat Kohli On His Birthday

Virat Kohli will go down as one of the greatest of all times. The former India captain and a celebrated member of the fabulous four has dominated oppositions irrespective of formats and conditions for a decade and has changed the game in many ways. Kohli, who finally won the Indian Premier League with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), has completed white-ball cricket.

Virat Kohli is the winner of the U-19 World Cup (2008), the ODI World Cup (2011), the World T20 (2024), and the Champions Trophy (2013 and 2025). Virat, who is now retired from Test and T20I cricket, is still playing the ODIs, but there are still doubts about his plans of playing the 2027 ODI World Cup.
