Dubai [UAE], November 6 (ANI): Team India on Friday celebrated skipper Virat Kohli's birthday after the side's thumping win in the Group 2 match of Super 12 stage of the ongoing ICC men's T20 World Cup.
Kohli on Friday turned 33 and the Indian side made sure the skipper celebrated his birthday in style with a win over Scotland.
India batter Suryakumar Yadav shared a story on Instagram in which the players can be seen celebrating Kohli's birthday after India's win.

Coming to the game, Chasing 86, India got off to a firing start as the openers registered the fastest team fifty of the ongoing tournament.
India needed to chase 86 runs in 7.1 overs to better their net-run rate from Afghanistan but the Kohli-led side did the needful in 6.3 overs.
"We spoke about the 8-10 over bracket before the start, didn't want to really go too hard because if you lose wickets, then an extra 20 balls could cost. We thought that if they play naturally, runs will come quickly," said Kohli after the win.
Having registered a thumping win, Kohli and boys will now be keeping an eye on New Zealand vs Afghanistan match on Sunday.
"A dominating performance, something that we were striving to do again. Now it will be interesting to see what happens on 7th (November). Don't want to say a lot about today's performance, we know what we can do," said Kohli.
"Also tells you how important the toss can be at this venue. We wanted to get them under 110-120 max, that was the mindset we went in with. The bowlers were excellent, and then KL and Rohit did really well," he added. (ANI)
