It’s the birthday of the current ‘GOAT,’ Virat Kohli! Wishes are pouring in on social media as the Indian star celebrates his 36th birthday on November 5. From Yuvraj Singh to Harbhajan Singh, many former cricketers and Indian fans have written heartfelt messages to him on this special day.

Aakash Chopra posted an animated video to pay tribute to Virat Kohli’s outstanding cricketing journey. He also wrote, “Uss din laga tha ki yeh ladka aage ja ke kuch alag banega. Many happy returns of the day to the one and only – Virat Kohli.”
Yuvraj Singh wishes
Yuvraj Singh wished his former teammate and encouraged him to make a strong comeback after his disappointing Test series against New Zealand, where he did not make an impact.
“Wishing you a very Happy Birthday #KingKohli! The greatest comebacks emerge from our setbacks, and the world eagerly looks forward to your solid return. You’ve done it in the past, and I’m sure you will do it yet again. God bless! Lots of love, @imVkohli,” Yuvraj wrote.
Virat Kohli’s next match
Virat Kohli has a break before heading to Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2025, which will begin on November 22 in Perth. The right-handed batter needs to focus on his practice sessions and preparation to return to his best form, as he has been under scrutiny for his performance in the IND vs. NZ three-match Test series.
The star batter holds the world record for the most centuries in ODI cricket, with 50, surpassing his idol Sachin Tendulkar. Additionally, he is the all-time leading run-scorer in T20 World Cup history, amassing 1,292 runs and winning the prestigious Player of the Tournament award twice. Earlier this year, he also retired as the second-highest run-scorer in T20 internationals, having scored 4,188 runs.
