'Always a King' - Indian cricketers extend birthday wishes to Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli turned 38 on Thursday, November 5, 2026, entering the 19th year of his international cricket career. The milestone underscored his enduring presence at the highest level of the game, where he continues to compete across formats at the age when many players have retired. During the opening ODI against New Zealand in Auckland on Wednesday, November 4, Kohli played a 51-ball 74 in India's chase of 143 in a rain-curtailed contest.
