With 354 runs scored so far in the ICC Cricket ODI World Cup 2023, star batsman Virat Kohli of India is currently the sixth-highest run scorer in the competition.
Kohli has been playing brilliantly. On November 5, 2023, when India plays South Africa in their eighth league match at Eden Gardens in Kolkata, Kohli will celebrate turning 35.
The Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) has planned special activities for the star batter to make the day even more memorable for India’s run machine. In addition to a spectacular fireworks display planned for the mid-innings break, CAB President Snehasish Ganguly has said that a special cake has been baked for former India captain Virat Kohli.
“We ordered a cake for Virat Kohli, and it will have a design that everyone can relate to.” To keep things unexpected, I am not releasing the photos just yet. In addition, we’re going to throw a fireworks display for Virat Kohli and the fans during the mid-inning break. We will use it as a means of honoring his birthday and demonstrating to the crowd that everyone in Kolkata is taking part in the festivities. Every fan in the stands is a Virat enthusiast, so we know the house will be packed. According to RevSportz, Snehasish Ganguly said, “It’s a gesture on behalf of all of them.”
The specifics of the unique gift that the CAB will provide to the batter who was born in Delhi will be revealed in the next few days. A laser show has also been planned, and over 70,000 Kohli masks will be given out to the audience.
Just one hundred runs separate Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar’s record.
Notably, Virat Kohli just scored his 48th century in ODI World Cup cricket against Bangladesh in Pune, bringing him within one hundred runs shy from tying Sachin Tendulkar’s record of the most hundreds in the format (49). On his special day, the star batter will try to offer his supporters the ideal thank-you present by matching his idol’s world record and leading India to victory over the Proteas to top the points table.
