Watch: The Indian Cricket Team celebrates Virat Kohli's birthday after a record win over South Africa
Team India celebrated star batter Virat Kohli's birthday and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja's match-winning performances by cutting cake on Sunday after achieving a record victory over South Africa in the ICC World Cup 2023 match in Kolkata.
There were two cakes to commemorate the occasion, with Jadeja cutting one and Kohli the other. After slicing the cake, Jadeja extended it to Kohli, who playfully hesitated, resulting in a humorous moment. Kohli scored a record 49th ODI hundred on his 35th birthday, while Jadeja shone with the ball, securing five wickets in India's 243-run win over South Africa. The video capturing this incident is currently gaining widespread attention on social media.
