Kevin Pietersen’s epic response to Anushka Sharma’s birthday post for Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli, the name that resonates with every cricket fan around the globe, celebrates his 35th birthday today. From a chubby kid from West Delhi to one of the most celebrated cricketers of all time, Kohli’s journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. His passion for the game, his unwavering commitment, and his remarkable consistency have made him a true icon of the sport.
Since his debut in 2008, Kohli has embarked on an extraordinary journey, amassing an incredible tally of over 26,000 runs across all three formats of the game. His ability to excel in every format is a testament to his exceptional range and adaptability. Kohli’s international career spans an impressive 515 matches, a remarkable feat that speaks volumes about his dedication and longevity.
On the occasion of his birthday, a wave of wishes swept across social media platforms as fans, pundits, and former cricketers united to celebrate the stalwart on his birthday. Kohli’s wife, Anushka Sharma also took the opportunity by posting three pictures and penned a touching caption. “He is literally exceptional in every role in his life!” she wrote, emphasizing his versatility and dedication. “But somehow continues to add more feathers to his glorious hat,” she added, admiring his constant pursuit of excellence. Her message concluded with an expression of unwavering love and support: “I love youuu through this life and beyond and endlessly so, in every shape, form, through it all, whatever it may be so.”
The first photograph showcased a remarkable statistic associated with Kohli – his unique achievement of taking a wicket off the zeroth delivery of his career. This extraordinary occurrence took place during a T20I match against England in 2011. While bowling, Kohli delivered a wide ball that resulted in the dismissal of Kevin Pietersen, effectively earning the wicket off an illegal delivery that fell outside the regular over.
Pietersen responded to the post with a comment that had fans in absolute splits. “The caption should be – Thank you, Kevin, for always looking out for my husband!” he wrote.
The second photograph posted by Anushka captured a playful pose of Kohli, showcasing his lighthearted side while the third image was a heartwarming selfie of the couple, exuding their undeniable chemistry and affection for each other.
