"21,901 international runs, 70 centuries 56.15 average, ICC World Cup 2011 and Champions Trophy 2013 winner Top, No.1 batsman on the ICC ODI Rankings. Happy birthday to the extraordinary Virat Kohli," tweeted the official handle of ICC while putting out some stats.
On Wednesday, <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/virat-kohli-all" target="_blank">Kohli</a> found a mention in ICC's throwback video-tweet wherein the then U-19 captain can be seen giving his introduction in the U-19 World Cup in 2008. He described himself as a "right-arm quick bowler", something which went viral on social media.
