People celebrate their birthdays in different ways. Virat Kohli prefers to do it with what he does best - scoring a century. It was, however, not one of the greatest of Kohli's innings, yet it will remain a memorable one since he got his 49th ODI ton and touched the great Sachin Tendulkar's milestone of highest number of centuries in the 50-over version of the game.
Interestingly, Sachin too had got a ton on his 25th birthday in the Coca Cola Cup final in Sharjah on April 24, 1998, where the Little Master scored 134 while opening the innings against Australia.

The first time I saw Virat Kohli was when he was playing for India 'A' in an Emerging tournament in Australia. In Brisbane, he opened the innings for us against New Zealand 'A,' who had seven internationals playing for them, while we had picked an under-23 side. NZ 'A' scored around 270, after which Viratscored a superb hundred to win us the match. What struck me about him was not just his game, but the fact that he stuck around to finish the job for his side.
It convinced me that he was good enough to play for India.
