Kohli, Anushka in Bhutan celebrating the captains' 31st birthday

Indian cricket’s regular captain Virat Kohli turned 31 today. Virat and his wife Anushka Sharma, a Bollywood actress, are celebrating the occasion in Bhutan.

Anushka instagrammed her photos with Virat in Bhutan and mentioned how a “beautiful and warm” local family offered them tea thinking them to be “tired trekkers.”  

The actress described it as a “genuine, simple and pure human connection.”

The cricketer has been rested for the current T20I series against Bangladesh but will return to lead India in the two Test matches against the “Tigers.”

To mark his 31st birthday, Kohli chose to look back in time and wrote a note on his Twitter handle where he traced his journey from “Cheeku” to Virat.

“My journey and life lessons explained to a 15-year-old me. Well, I tried my best writing this down. Do give it a read,” the Delhi lad said.    

Kohli, who made his international debut in August 2008 in an ODI against Sri Lanka in Dambulla, has played 82 Tests, 239 ODIs and 72 T20Is in his career so far.

With 11,520 ODI runs in 239 matches (230 innings), Kohli is the second Indian after batting legend Sachin Tendulkar with most runs. He also has 43 ODI centuries to his credit, the second most in the world. Tendulkar tops the list with 49 ODI tons.
