Modern-day batting great and former Indian skipper Virat Kohli is celebrating his 34th birthday today. The Delhi batter has impressed everyone with his swashbuckling form with the bat in the ongoing edition of the 20-20 World Cup. He is currently the second-highest run-scorer in the 20-20 World Cup 2022.
While the entire cricketing fraternity is wishing birthday to the legend, an 11-year-old reply of a World Cup winner batter to the tweet of an Indian singer has gone viral over social media. The tweet belongs to the 23rd of October in the year 2011.
Indian-Australian actress Shibani Dandekar is active in the industry since 2001. Just another day in 2011, Shibani happened to post a tweet from her official Twitter handle.
“Isn’t it?? Loved the dynamic between the boys and the shot beautifully! dying to go to Spain now!,” reads the tweet posted by Dandekar.
Virat Kohli took no time in coming up with a hilarious and funny reply to Shibani’s tweet
“Hello, stranger. Hope ur good :),” replied Kohli to Shibani.
Here’s what happened at the moment 11 years ago:
Presently, the 34-year-old is playing for the Indian team in the ongoing edition of the 20-20 World Cup. The veteran of 71 international centuries has scored 220 runs in four innings of the four matches he played so far in the tournament with three amazing unbeaten half-centuries to his name.
Notably, Virat has also played a ‘knock for the ages in India’s first super-12 match against the arch-rivals Pakistan. The unbeaten knock of 82 runs came up from Virat’s bat in a situation when India had lost four wickets only on the score of 31 runs.
Following that, Virat has kept his golden form alive with the bat in the tournament so far. The unbeaten knock against Bangladesh of late has played a vital role to strengthen India’s chances in the run for the semi-finals of the tournament.
