PM Modi was born on September 17, 1950, in Gujarat's Vadnagar, a small town in the Mehsana district of North Gujarat. Praying for the Prime Minister's healthy life, former India captain Kohli tweeted: "Wishing our Hon. Prime Minister #narendramodi ji, a very happy birthday.

The All-India Senior Selection Committee had announced the T20 World Cup squad earlier this week, and the likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel made their comeback from respective injuries. Ravindra Jadeja is not a part of the squad, as he got injured during the Asia Cup and then he underwent a surgery. Former Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardena has said that Jadeja not being available will be a "massive loss" for Team India.
Virat Kohli is one of the greatest batters to grace the game of cricket, but he makes sure to follow other sports. He is known to be a passionate football fan, and on Friday, he also showed his love for basketball. Kohli shared a selfie on his Instagram stories where he is seen donning a cap of the NBA team Chicago Bulls. "90s bulls anyone? (sic)" he captioned the photo, referring to the team's greatest era. Led by the inimitable Michael Jordan, the Bulls won six Championship titles in the 1990s. That Bulls team is considered one of the greatest ever.
The century against Afghanistan at the Asia Cup could not have come at a better time for Virat Kohli. After facing question marks over his form, the former Indian cricket team skipper roared back to form in the continental event with two half-centuries and a ton. The century came while opening the innings in India's final Super 4 match. With the T20 World Cup in Australia starting in little over a month's time, former India wicketkeeper suggested that Kohli should continue opening the innings along with captain Rohit Sharma.
Ravichandran Ashwin feels young left-arm pace bowler Arshdeep Singh might be in "emotional turmoil" after he was trolled relentlessly following him dropping a catch in the Asia Cup 'Super 4' match against arch-rivals Pakistan in Dubai recently. Fans took to social media to vent their ire against Arshdeep, when he dropped the catch with Pakistan needing 34 runs to win in two overs. In the 18th over of the match, Asif Ali tried to sweep Ravi Bishnoi, only to edge the ball as the skier went towards Arshdeep at short third-man. However, the 23-year-old medium pacer dropped the straightforward chance and Ali survived to pull the game back in Pakistan's favour. Virat Kohli later defended the young pacer, saying anyone could have made such a mistake during a high-pressure game.
Anushka Sharma's co-star from her upcoming movie 'Chakda Xpress', which is based on the life of legendary India pacer Jhulan Goswami, Anushul Chauhan was in for a surprise on her birthday. Anshul, who turned 29 on Wednesday, got a special visit from Anushka's husband and India batting icon Virat Kohli. The actor took to Instagram to share a series of photos and videos with the former India skipper, and she can be seen having a hard time holding in her happiness at meeting Kohli.
Star India batter Virat Kohli stormed back to form in the recently concluded Asia Cup and even ended a century drought that lasted nearly three years. Back among the runs, Kohli is set to play a crucial role in India's campaign in the upcoming T20 World Cup in Australia, which begins next month. However, former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar has come up with a bold prediction that Kohli may step away from the shortest format after the mega event in Australia, to extend his career in Tests and ODIs.
