HAPPY BIRTHDAY VIRAT | WISHES COME POURING IN AS INDIAN SKIPPER TURNS 30

After 'Master Blaster' Sachin Tendulkar, if there's one man that exemplifies class in batting, it has to be Virat Kohli. Fondly referred to as the 'run machine', Kohli turns 30 today. On this occasion, tributes and wishes came pouring in from all corners of society.

Kohli has had a record-breaking year, especially in ODI cricket as he became the fastest batsman in the world to reach 10,000 runs in the 50-over format. Over these years, the dashing Delhi boy has cemented his legacy as one of the all-time greats of cricket.

Twitter has been flooded with wishes for the Indian skipper, with BCCI leading the way.
