Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) took to Twitter to wish captain Virat Kohli on his birthday. The Indian skipper, currently in United Arab Emirates (UAE) for the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020, turned 32 on Thursday. RCB posted two photos of Kohli on Twitter, while he was cutting a cake and falling victim to a cake fight. The post has been captioned as, "How it started how it ended Captain Kohli's birthday celebration was as smashing as his batting! @imVkohli #PlayBold #WeAreChallengers #HappyBirthdayViratKohli".
Wishes also flowed in for the RCB and Team India captain from current and former teammates and even IPL Eliminator rivals SunRisers Hyderabad.
RCB finished the IPL 2020 league in fourth position with 14 points from 14 fixtures. They won seven games and lost seven. They face SRH in the Eliminator on Friday, at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, in Abu Dhabi. Delhi Capitals (DC) face Mumbai Indians (MI) in Qualifier 1 on Thursday.
