Indian cricket team skipper and international sporting icon, Virat Kohli celebrates his 29th birthday today. Born in Delhi, since making his international debut in 2008, the right-hander has gone on to become probably the best limited-overs batsman there is.
In 60 Test matches, Kohli has amassed 4658 runs at 49.55, in 202 ODIs he has 9030 runs at 55.74 and has a total of 1943 runs at an astonishing average of 53.97 in 54 T20Is. Moreover, this year, the skipper has hit as many as six ODI centuries and has scored over 1400 runs at 76.84.
Though India lost the second T20I of the three-match series against New Zealand, the Indian team celebrated their captain's birthday in style.
