Virat Kohli, the star Indian cricketer, is getting ready for a big match against South Africa on November 5th, which is also his 35th birthday. It’s going to be an important day for him. During a practice session at the Eden Gardens, Pakistan’s wicketkeeper-batsman, Mohammad Rizwan, sent his early birthday wishes to Virat Kohli.
It was a friendly moment before Pakistan’s Cricket World Cup match against Bangladesh. In the following match in Kolkata, Pakistan defeated Bangladesh to win their third match of the 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup.
In an innings that ended in the 33rd over of their innings, Pakistan easily defeated their opponents by seven wickets. They were led by the commanding fifties of Fakhar Zaman (81) and Abdullah Shafique (68) against Bangladesh.
Mohammed Rizwan shared his birthday wishes for Virat Kohli in a fun chat with India Today – Aaj Tak at the cricket ground. He said, “It’s cool that his birthday is on November 5th. I wish him a happy birthday, even though I don’t celebrate my own. I’m sending good wishes to Virat Kohli, and I hope he scores his 49th ODI hundred on his birthday. I also hope he reaches his 50th ODI century in this World Cup.”
Babar Azam didn’t said about Virat Kohli
On the other hand, Pakistan’s captain, Babar Azam, didn’t say much when asked about Virat’s 35th birthday. Despite Pakistan facing some tough times in the ongoing World Cup, with four consecutive losses, Babar has been seen having friendly interactions with Virat Kohli.
In the tournament, India has won six matches, which is great for them, while Pakistan is struggling and trying to secure a spot in the semi-finals. The upcoming match on Virat Kohli’s birthday will be an exciting one, and fans from both sides will be watching closely to see what happens. It’s a big day for cricket fans all over the world.
