Former Indian skipper and modern-day batting great, Virat Kohli is celebrating his 35th birthday today. The heartfelt birthday wishes for the cricketing legend are pouring out from all over the cricketing fraternity. Meanwhile, the former legendary Indian opener and now, the commentator Virender Sehwag came up with a special wish for Virat Kohli on his 35th birthday.

Notably, Virat and Sehwag had shared the dressing room when the former entered the senior men’s team of India as a young boy and Sehwag was there in the side as a senior player.

“Century haemoglobin ki tarah inki ragon mein daudti hai. A young guy with dreams in his eyes, with his work ethics, passion, hard work and talent has ruled the game. Ups and downs yes but what has remained constant is his intensity and hunger. Best wishes” wrote Sehwag in a post from his official X-handle (formerly Twitter).
