Indian captain Virat Kohli turns 31 today. The poster boy of Indian cricket continues to entertain, break records at will and set examples for others. While leading the Test No. 1 team with aplomb, Kohli has brought on many accolades to his impressive CV over the years.

Kohli is loved by millions across the world for his majestic batting. Currently leading the world in run-making, Kohli is by far the best all-formats batsman in the world. While Australia's Steve Smith and New Zealand's Kane Williamson give him tough competition in Tests, what makes Kohli the best is his supremacy across formats.

On the occasion of his 31st birthday, fans and many others in the cricket fraternity took to Twitter to wish the Indian captain.

Fastest to 20,000 international runs

Most double hundreds as Test captain

First to clean sweep ICC awards

DYK, his first T20I wicket came before he actually bowled his first legitimate ball in this format. His first delivery in T20I cricket was a wide and MS Dhoni effected a stumping at Manchester in 2011. The batsman: Kevin Pietersen.#HappyBirthdayViratKohli Mohandas Menon (@mohanstatsman) November 5, 2019

In 2016, Virat Kohli scored a century in a 15 over IPL game, despite having stitches in his thumb. He made 900+ runs in that season. I thought Virat has peaked. He will never play better cricket than this. Sagar (@sagarcasm) November 4, 2019

But I was wrong. He swept all the ICC awards in 2018. And his game is only improving with each passing day. What a guy!#HappyBirthdayViratKohli Sagar (@sagarcasm) November 4, 2019

A great captain and an entertaining batsman

From a chubby Delhi lad to one of the world's greatest batsmen On Virat Kohli's 31st birthday, we take a look at Indian skipper's incredible cricketing journey! #HappyBirthdayViratKohli @imVkohli#ITSpecial by Prerna Ahuja pic.twitter.com/KmvsTZpSX1 India Today (@IndiaToday) November 4, 2019

Kohli has come a long way now - from leading the country's U-19 team to World Cup glory back in 2008 to leading India's charge in dominating the world of cricket in all forms of the game.

As the captain of the team, he leads by example and his obsession with fitness is no secret. He spends hours at the gym, watches what he eats and expects his men to do the same.

Kohli is currently enjoying a well-earned holiday and will return to the field during the 2 Tests vs Bangladesh starting on November 14. In his absence, Rohit Sharma is leading the Indian side vs the tourists in the ongoing T20I series.
