Kohli is not part of Indias T20I squad for the three-match rubber against Bangladesh and is currently enjoying a vacation with wife Anushka Sharma in Bhutan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Cricketing great Sachin Tendulkar congratulated the 31-year-old saying: &quot;Wishing you a very happy birthday Virat! Continue scoring runs and leading India with the same passion! All the best.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Former India opener Virender Sehwag, known for his cheeky tweets, wished the India skipper in his own style and said: &quot;May the ball always appear as big as this and may your batting always be like a F5 button, refresh everyone who is blessed to see it. Badalon ki tarah chaaye raho, hamesha khush raho #HappyBirthdayViratKohli.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Batting great V.V.S. Laxman also extended his wishes tweeting: &quot;Many more happy returns of the day dear. Wishing you a great year full of happiness and sunshine!

Best wishes and may you have some wonderful years ahead!&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Kohli is undoubtedly at the peak of his career and the run-machine&#39;s popularity is on the rise with every passing day as it was evident from the results of a recent study conducted on cricket which revealed Indian cricketers as the top three most researched players globally with the Indian skipper leading the charts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Indian skipper has around 20,000 international runs with 69 centuries.<\/p>\r\n",
