With this win, India moved to the third spot with four points in Group 2.
Earlier in the day, wife and Bollywood actor Anushka Sharma also wished Kohli on his 33rd birthday. Taking to Instagram, Anushka penned a heartfelt post for Virat and expressed that his 'core is made of honesty.'
"No filter is needed, for this photo and the way you lead your life. Your core is made of honesty and guts of steel. The courage that pales doubt into oblivion. I know no one who can pick themselves up from a dark place like you can. You grow better in every way because you hold on to nothing in you as permanent and are fearless," she wrote.
This is to be noted that since making his debut in 2008, Kohli has played 254 ODIs, 96 Tests, and 92 T20Is for the national side and has over 23,000 international runs. The 33-year-old is also the leading run-scorer in men`s T20 internationals with his 3225 runs in 92 matches.
