The Indian stalwart, Virat Kohli is celebrating his 34th birthday on Saturday, November 5 but the wishes from the cricketing fraternity have already started flooding in. On Friday, following the crucial and much-needed win against Afghanistan, star all-rounder Glenn Maxwell wished his ‘buddy’ and his Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) teammate, Kohli ahead of the latter’s birthday.
The segment took place after the conclusion of the match when Glenn Maxwell joined Australian TV anchor and presenter Neroli Meadows for an exclusive interview with Star Sports.

In the video, Glenn Maxwell took the opportunity to wish Kohli a day prior to his birthday on live TV with a heartwarming wish. Virat Kohli has been just sensational for India with his scintillating form in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022. His efforts have brought the team to the threshold of making it to the semi-finals. The Men in Blue will now require a win in their final Super 12 match against Zimbabwe to officially cement their spot in the last four of the marquee event.

On the other hand, Glenn Maxwell had a brilliant outing against Afghanistan in Australia’s final outing of the Super 12 stage and it earned them a victory. Despite the win, the hosts and defending champions Australia are dependent on the result of Sri Lanka and England fixture.
Now, the Aussies will hope for Sri Lanka to win their fixture against England which will help them qualify for the semi-finals of the tournament. Aaron Finch didn’t play in the match against Afghanistan as he was ruled out due to a hamstring injury.
Here is how the cricketing fraternity wished Virat Kohli on his birthday:
