On the occasion of Virat Kohli's 35th birthday on Sunday, a group of fans in Kolkata celebrated the former skipper's birthday by cutting cakes and making a 35-foot banner depicting him playing his trademark cover-drive.

The fan further said that they just want India to win today's game against South Africa.

"Today is Virat Kohli's 35th birthday, and to celebrate it, we have made a 35-foot banner. Hopefully, today he will score a century, give us a birthday gift, and equal Sachin Tendulkar's record. We just want India to win today's game against South Africa," a fan said.

Another Kohli fan said that today they will be seeing Kohli's century and India beat South Africa by a big margin.

"Today we will be seeing Kohli's century, and India beat South Africa by a big margin. India stay at the top of the points table," another fan added.
