Virat Kohli's fan following needs no introduction. The man commands immense respect and reverence, and the fanfare isn't just restricted to India but blurs global boundaries.
This was on full display when Pakistani fast bowler Shahnawaz Dahani took to Twitter and wished him a day before. He said he couldn't really wait for November 5 to wish Kohli, the artist who made the game beautiful.
"Just couldn't wait for 5th Nov to wish the artist who made cricket the most beautiful. Happy birthday Virat Kohli, the #GOAT. Enjoy your day brother & Keep entertaining the world," wrote Dahani.
Royal Challengers Bangalore, Kohli's IPL franchise, wished him according to the time in Australia.
Many other players too took to Twitter to wish Kohli on his special day.
Notably, other cricket stars and teammates also took the opportunity to wish Kohli.
As far as the World Cup is concerned, Kohli is the 2nd highest run-getter with 220 runs against his name in 4 matches.
