Kohli's birthday note highlights Modi's health and long life wishes

On the occasion of Narendra Modi’s 76th birthday, Indian cricket legend Virat Kohli penned a short yet sincere greeting on X. Kohli’s message centered on wishing the Prime Minister robust health, happiness and a long, satisfying life. The ex‑captain’s post was succinct but quickly gathered attention, being shared by fans and fellow athletes alike.

The birthday celebration saw a chorus of messages from various quarters: political leaders, international heads of state, and many personalities from the entertainment and sports arenas. Notably, Russian President Vladimir Putin joined the list of world leaders congratulating Modi.

Modi’s journey from his birth in Vadnagar, Gujarat, to becoming the country’s longest‑serving non‑Congress prime minister is a recurring narrative in Indian media. With the 25‑year mark of his public service set for October, Kohli’s tribute underscores the Prime Minister’s influence beyond the political arena.
