[Saba Sports News] Indian batting maestro Virat Kohli is soon going to turn 35 on 5th of November, which is the same date when India will clash in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 against the red-hot South Africa at Kolkata’s iconic Eden Gardens. Notably, it will be the first time that Kohli will play an ODI match on his birthday, and Eden Gardens is in full swing to make his occasion even more special with some special arrangements.
The Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) is leaving no stone unturned for Kohli and the fans, who will attend the high-octane match, ensuring it will be a red-letter day. CAB President Snehasish Ganguly confirmed to RevSportz about amazing arrangements being made for Kohli’s birthday.
“We have ordered a cake for Virat, and the design will be something everyone identifies with Virat Kohli,” Ganguly said.
“I am not sharing the pictures yet, for let that be a surprise. Also, we plan to host a fireworks show during the mid-innings interval for Virat and the crowd. It will be our way of celebrating his birthday, and our way of saying that the entire Kolkata crowd are part of the celebrations. We are sure of a full house and everyone in the stands is a Virat fan. It is a gesture on behalf of all of them,” he added.
The celebrations will not be limited to this only as the local board is also looking to organize a special present for the Delhi-born. However, the surprise is still unknown and will be revealed in the coming days.
The CAB is also looking forward to a laser show that will captivate the fans at every moment. It is also reported that the local authorities will distribute 70,000 Kohli face masks to the spectators.
