The right-handed batsman was overjoyed to see the year-end on Saturday and welcome 2023.
In 2022, Virat Kohli, the standout batter for India, had a remarkable season. The former India captain hit his first T20I century in the Asia Cup of 2022 against Afghanistan, ending a century wait of 1,020 days. With an ascensive knock in the third ODI against Bangladesh earlier this month, he finally scored a century in one-day internationals. Since then, Kohli has been unstoppable, finishing 2022 as the year’s ninth leading run scorer with 1348 runs. On Saturday, as the year came to a close, the right-handed hitter joyfully welcomed 2023.
Kohli uploaded a photo of himself and his wife, the Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma, along with the hashtag “2023” and a heart emoji.
Not only did Kohli use Twitter to wish his supporters a happy new year, but so did Indian cricket superstar Sachin Tendulkar, who posted a video to Twitter showing him tapping the ball with his bat.
“Greetings! (Knock, knock.) It’s 2023! #HappyNewYear, “Tendulkar made a tweet about it.
Meanwhile, the festivities welcoming the year 2023 began in full swing in India.
The evening of December 31 was like a merry-go-round everywhere from Delhi to Mumbai to Chennai to Kolkata.
Many Delhi residents flocked to India Gate on New Year’s Eve to ring in the new year together. Pubs and clubs across the nation’s capital threw themed parties to celebrate the occasion.
Mumbai, the “city of dreams,” was rocking with excitement as revelers danced to a musical spectacular at the local watering holes. On New Year’s Eve, Mumbai’s Marine Drive saw a massive influx of revelers.
