Fans flooded social media with love and birthday greetings for Kohli, praising his consistency, fitness, and unwavering passion for the game. Several cricketers and celebrities also joined in, celebrating the legacy of one of India’s greatest modern-day athletes.
Kohli’s focus remains only on ODIs
After announcing his retirement from T20Is following India’s World Cup victory and stepping away from Test cricket earlier this year, Kohli has now directed his full attention towards One Day Internationals (ODIs). The former India captain has made it clear that the 50-over format remains his primary focus as he aims to guide the next generation of players while maintaining his world-class standards.
Kohli was last seen in action during India’s three-match ODI series in Australia, which concluded on October 25. Despite a shaky start—registering back-to-back ducks in the first two games—the veteran batter showcased his trademark resilience in the final match at the Sydney Cricket Ground. There, he crafted a sublime unbeaten 74 off 87 balls, steering India to a commanding nine-wicket victory.
Although India ultimately lost the series 2-1, Kohli’s innings reminded fans of his ability to bounce back under pressure and his enduring hunger for runs, even after 16 years of international cricket.
