Indian cricket legends Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag led Twitterites in wishing Indian Test skipper Virat Kohli, who turned 28 on Saturday. Among the billion wishes that flooded the social networking forum after midnight on Friday with #WeloveYouKohli and #HappyBirthdayVirat fast trending top of the charts, Tendulkar wrote on Saturday morning, "Happy Birthday @imVkohli! To the most (shararati guy) in our team, stay the way you are always!"
With around 12.7 million followers on Twitter, 8.3 million on Instagram and 32 million on Facebook, the Test skipper got the right kind of wish from former India opener Sehwag who tweeted, "Haazme ki Goli, Rangon ki Holi, Gujarat me Ghagra Choli Aur Batting mein Virat Kohli Poore India ko pasand hai #HappyBirthdayVirat @imVkohli." Even Gautam Gambhir, who has had differences with Kohli in the past with tempers flaring between the two infamously in an Indian Premier league (IPl) game, keyed in. "Happy Birthday @imVkohli. Have a blessed year ahead; hoping to see you smash many more records along the way. "Meanwhile, India coach Anil Kumble tweeted, "Happy birthday @imVkohli. Hope you have a fantastic year ahead. Wish you the best of everything. @BCCI."
