Bengaluru: India captain Virat Kohli turned 30 today and it was celebration time for his fans as they flooded social media with birthday wishes for their favourite cricketer.

Born on November 5, 1988, Kohli made his international debut before his 20th birthday, in August 2008 and since then he has broken numerous batting records.

Kohli led India to Under-19 World Cup victory in Malaysia in 2008 and progressed to the senior team quickly. His international cricket journey, at the senior level, started on August 18, 2008, against Sri Lanka in Dambulla in a ODI.

So far, he has played 73 Tests, 216 ODIs and 62 T20Is. Recently, he became the fastest to score 10,000 runs in ODIs.

The Delhi right-hander’s fans call him “King Kohli”. And true to that, he has been a king of batting, more so, in ODI run chases.
