Virat Kohli, the celebrated Indian cricketer, marks his 35th birthday on November 5, a day infused with significance. As India engages in a fervent home World Cup campaign, Kohli's aspirations extend beyond personal milestones to bringing the coveted trophy back after a 12-year hiatus. 

In 2011, a youthful Kohli played a pivotal role in India's victorious World Cup journey. Now, as captain, he stands poised to lead his team to triumph once more. Kohli's performance in the 2023 WorldCup has been nothing short of spectacular, highlighted by a remarkable unbeaten 103 against Bangladesh in Pune, along with four half-centuries. His century nudged him closer to Sachin Tendulkar's illustrious record.

Yet, this pursuit of excellence doesn't end there. Kohli sets his sights on becoming the first Indian cricketer to secure two World Cup titles. Although Indian cricket has witnessed legendary figures, none have clinched two ODI World Cups. With 442 runs in seven innings, Kohli ranks among the tournament's top three run-scorers, displaying prime form.

While a century against Sri Lanka eluded him at 88, the anticipation for Kohli to match Tendulkar's ODI hundred tally resonated through Mumbai's Wankhede stadium. With 48 ODI hundreds to his name, speculation arises of Kohli achieving this feat during the World Cup. Sunil Gavaskar even predicts his 50th ODI hundred on his birthday.

As India prepares for a crucial World Cup clash against South Africa, Eden Gardens brims with excitement. Amidst the celebrations, Kohli remains resolute, embracing his characteristic passion and intensity. Having previously led the U-19 team to victory, Kohli's unwavering commitment is poised to shine once more on November 5, as India faces South Africa at the Eden Gardens.
