New Delhi: Superstar of Indian cricket, Virat Kohli, turned 29 on Sunday with wishes pouring in from his team mates in the national dressing room to his countless fans across the world.

While he celebrated with the entire squad, wishes flooded in from all around the world. Kohli’s idol Sachin Tendulkar was among the many big cricketing names who congratulated the Indian captain.

“A young, passionate cricketer is now the leader of a world beating team. U’ve come a long way, wish you tons of success. #HappyBirthdayVirat,” tweeted Tendulkar.
