    Virat and Anushka
    Indian skipper Virat Kholi, who is currently in UAE for the IPL, turns 32 on Thursday. The cricket captain is married to Bollywood star Anushka Sharma and together the couple – known by fans as ‘ Virushka’ – enjoy a large fan following. This year Kholi has much to celebrate including fatherhood. But before that, here’s a look at some other milestones from his life. Image Credit: Insta/virat.kohli

    Virat Kohli
    Kohli has been playing since he was very, very young. He scored well in inter-school cricket, got into the Delhi Under-15 team and began to score centuries, soon graduating to the Under-17 team. He got selected into the India Under-19 team in 2006 for a tour of England, where he averaged 106 in that three-match ODI series. India’s Under-19 coach Lalchand Rajput predicted a great future for him. And he was right. Kohli became the youth team captain and went on to lift the 2008 ICC Under-19 World Cup.
