Coming to King Kohli’s birthday, it was celebrated in trademark Indian cricket team style. Players gathered around Kohli for the cake ceremony and gave him a rich cake facial afterwards. It’s a new tradition which has started inside Team India’s dressing room and thanks to social media we keep getting pictures and videos.

Revenge no. 1️⃣ ?
