Amidst the festivities, Kohli aimed to mark his birthday by potentially surpassing Sachin Tendulkar's record of most One Day International (ODI) hundreds (49). Despite getting close to achieving the milestone in recent matches against New Zealand and Sri Lanka, Kohli fell short of the three-figure mark, recording scores in the 90s and 80s.
During the World Cup 2023, Kohli's outstanding contributions to the Indian team have been pivotal, including his century against Bangladesh at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune, along with a match-winning half-century against both Australia and Afghanistan, underscoring his crucial role in leading the team to victory on multiple occasions.
Simultaneously, the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) had elaborate plans to celebrate Kohli's birthday during the World Cup match at Eden Gardens, encompassing a grand festivity featuring fireworks, the distribution of 70,000 Kohli face masks to the audience, and a spectacular light and sound display, adding an extra layer of excitement to the event.
In the build-up to the match, the gathering of cricketing stalwarts, including former Indian captain and current BCCI president Sourav Ganguly, his elder brother, and CAB president Snehasish Ganguly, along with Rahul Dravid, symbolized a fitting tribute to Virat Kohli's enduring legacy in the realm of Indian cricket, underscoring his unparalleled influence and contribution to the sport.
