I Only Have Love For Virat Kohli – Mohammad Rizwan

During a practice session, a fan approached Mohammad Rizwan and inquired about his birthday wishes for Virat Kohli on November 5. Rizwan responded with a heartfelt message, wishing Kohli to achieve both his 49th and 50th ODI centuries at the venue.

“Brother, (Virat) Kohli will play here on his birthday (November 5, India vs South Africa). Do you have any wishes for him?” a man asked.

“Sirf mohabbat hai. Inshallah, idhar unka 49th kya 50th hundred bhi ho jaaye (I only have love for him. God be willing, may he get both his 49th and 50th ODI century here),” Rizwan replied.

Virat Kohli is in exceptional form in the ICC World Cup, amassing three half-centuries and one century. With 48 ODI centuries, he is just one short of equaling Sachin Tendulkar’s record for the most ODI centuries. He aims to break the record in the upcoming matches.
