Virat Kohli has just turned 37 and the cricket world is abuzz with celebrations and tributes. According to Business Standard and Times of India, he remains one of the greatest cricketers of his era, holding unmatched records like being the fastest in history to reach 8,000, 9,000, 10,000, 11,000, and 12,000 ODI runs. Kohli has also overtaken Sachin Tendulkar with 51 ODI centuries, not just breaking records but setting new standards for consistency and excellence. In Tests, Kohli wore India’s whites for 123 matches, scoring a remarkable 9,230 runs with 30 centuries and 31 fifties. His average among batters with over 10,000 ODI runs is the highest, showcasing a career defined by discipline and dominance.
His 37th birthday on November 5 has been an occasion of global celebration. Social media has exploded with tributes, highlights, and viral throwbacks. Hindustan Times reports that fans have been sharing a resurfaced video clip featuring Kohli and footballer Sunil Chhetri, where Kohli gleefully describes his fantasy foodie day with childhood favorites like Marie biscuits with malai, chole bhature, rajma chawal, paneer patties, and cassata ice cream. Despite his notorious discipline, this birthday glimpse reminds the world of Kohli’s charm and relatability far beyond sport.
He and wife Anushka Sharma continue to dominate headlines as a power couple. With a combined net worth exceeding Rs 1,300 crore as per ET Now and Times of India, their assets include luxurious homes in Mumbai and Gurgaon, a vast car collection, and stakes in high-value properties and ventures. Kohli himself is India’s most valuable celebrity brand, says Kroll’s Celebrity Brand Valuation Report 2024, commanding Rs 7.5–10 crore per endorsement and earning a staggering Rs 8.9 crore per Instagram post. With over 274 million Instagram followers, Kohli ranks among the world’s most-followed athletes—his brand power now rivalling Messi and Ronaldo.
Kohli is no longer just a sports icon. He’s built a multimillion-dollar empire, with business interests across One8 (lifestyle and restaurant chain), WROGN (fashion), Chisel Fitness, FC Goa (football), and investments in startups such as Blue Tribe, Rage Coffee, and Digit Insurance. As reported by Planify and IndiaTimes, his net worth sits at around Rs 1,050 crore ($125 million). Kohli’s strategic investments and entrepreneurial instincts are as sharp as his cover drives, making him a role model for athletes with aspirations well beyond the pitch.
Public appearances over the past few days have focused mostly on birthday celebrations, with media galleries showing him with Anushka and family at private gatherings. Republic World and Economic Times highlighted sweet birthday tributes from Anushka, calling Virat “the greatest man in the world.” Fans and celebrities alike have flooded social media with well-wishes, career highlights, and personal anecdotes.
