The brief interaction quickly went viral, adding to Kohli’s growing list of fan encounters that reveal his approachable nature despite his superstar status.
This public appearance came just a couple of days after Kohli celebrated his 36th birthday, which he described as a “chilled-out” occasion spent with his wife, Anushka Sharma, and their two children.
Kohli had shared insights into this quiet celebration at a promotional event in Mumbai, attended by fans and hosted by his friend, Gaurav Kapoor.
During the event, Kapoor encouraged the audience to sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to Kohli, leading to a warm and lively chorus that seemed to catch Kohli off-guard.
Kohli, known for his straightforwardness, reflected on how birthdays have taken on new meaning since becoming a father.
“The birthday was basically for my daughter,” he joked.
He lightheartedly remarked on the inevitable passage of time, saying, “I don’t know about being wiser, but I’m older for sure.”
With his birthday celebrations behind him, Kohli’s focus shifts back to the field as he prepares for India’s upcoming five-match Test series against Australia.
This series, beginning on November 22 in Perth, is crucial for Kohli, who is looking to regain his form after a tough series against New Zealand, where he recorded multiple low scores.
