On November 5th, Virat Kohli memorably celebrated his 35th birthday by achieving a remarkable feat in cricket. He notched his 49th One Day International (ODI) century. This significant milestone put him on par with the legendary Sachin Tendulkar, who also holds the record for the most ODI centuries.
Kohli’s exceptional performance was the linchpin in India’s dominant total of 326 runs against South Africa during a crucial World Cup match. In response, the South African team could only muster 83 runs, leading to a resounding victory for India by a staggering margin of 243 runs.
What made Kohli’s performance even more captivating was his lively and exuberant on-field antics. He delighted spectators by dancing to ‘Chaleya’, a popular Bollywood song from the movie ‘Jawan,’ which features superstar Shahrukh Khan. Kohli even paid tribute to Khan’s iconic pose, bringing sheer delight to the crowd.
Kohli didn’t stop at one dance; he kept the entertainment going by dancing to another Bollywood hit, “Chaleya” from the movie “Jawan.” The video became a sensation, and the film’s director, Atlee, shared it on his social media account with an enthusiastic “Omg” and several red heart emojis.
But Kohli’s charismatic display didn’t stop there. He was also seen grooving to the catchy number ‘Ainvayi Ainvayi’ from the film ‘Band Baaja Baaraat.’ This movie holds a special place in Kohli’s heart, as it marked the acting debut of his wife, Anushka Sharma, in a leading role.
Virat Kohli‘s record-equalling century came off just 119 balls, demonstrating his extraordinary batting prowess. This achievement was particularly significant because it coincided with his birthday, making it a memorable day. Kohli expressed his heartfelt gratitude for the overwhelming love and support from his fans and described the experience as nothing short of a dream come true.
