Virat Kohli, one of the greatest batters of current times, turns 35 on November 5...

Digital Desk: Virat Kohli, one of the greatest batters and a heartthrob to millions of fans, turned 35 on November 5, and the timing of his birthday couldn't be better than as of today facing the South African team to break two of his other records.

Indian cricket has had some of the game's greatest superstars wear its iconic jerseys, but none of them have ever won two ODI World Cups. Kapil Dev and Tendulkar were able to win one, but Kohli had a chance to win and make it two this time.

Before today's record-breaking match let's have a look at Virat's all-time great 5 records under his name: 

Most Test Wins 

Virat Kohli holds the record for the most Test victories by an Indian captain. As captain, he led India to 40 victories from 68 matches. Not to mention, India did not lose a single home Test series throughout his tenure.

 Virat Kohli became India's Test captain in the 2014/15 season and stood down in 2022. Under his captaincy, India had a memorable win in their first-ever Test series in Australia. During Kohli's captaincy, India remained at the top for a long time.

Virat Kohli's Fastest 10000 ODI Runs

The record for the fastest 10,000 ODI runs is held by Virat Kohli. In just 205 innings, the right-handed batter reached the milestone. In 2018, during the ODI series against the West Indies, he broke Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar's record.

Five years later, Virat Kohli is still at the top followed by Present Captain Rohit Sharma, who recently reached 10,000 ODI runs in 241 innings. Right now, Sachin Tendulkar is ranked third. 

King's 48 ODI Centuries

On the list of batsmen with the most ODI hundreds, Virat Kohli is ranked second. Sachin Tendulkar, who concluded his career with 49 ODI tonnes, is seated next to him. Kohli will undoubtedly soon surpass Sachin's exceptional record.

 The fans hope that Virat Kohli reaches the milestone on his 35th birthday because he will be a part of the World Cup match against South Africa on his 35th birthday. So far during the present World Cup, Kohli has made one century.

Holds record of most runs in T20Is

When it comes to T201 cricket, Virat Kohli has the most runs. At 4000 runs in 115 matches, Kohli is the only batter to have amassed more than 4000 runs in the shortest format. In 2010, making his T201 debut, his count reached 37 half-centuries in addition to one century in his career.

Most Runs in IPL Matches

Virat Kohli not only leads international cricket, but he also rules the Indian Premier League. The IPL legend has scored 7263 runs in 237 games. Kohli is the only batter in IPL history to have scored 7000 runs.

With India preparing for their World Cup match against South Africa, Eden Gardens is slowly set to welcome one of our era's greatest to the historic venue on Virat Kohli's birthday.
