Kohli did not get the result that he wanted against New Zealand in the second T20 International last night in Rajkot but that did not stop the wild celebrations as his teammates smeared the big birthday cake all over his face.
While he celebrated with the entire squad, wishes flooded in from all around the world.
Kohli's idol Sachin Tendulkar was among the many big cricketing names who congratulated the Indian captain.
After being part of the celebrations, coach Ravi Shastri wrote: "Happy Birthday, @imVkohli. Have yet another fabulous year. God bless."

Kohli has shattered a host of records but many greats of the game feel his best is yet to come.
During the ODI series, he became the fastest to get to 9000 runs and that was just days after he surpassed Ricky Ponting to be second in the list of all-time ODI century makers with 31 centuries, only behind Tendulkar (49).
