The Indian skipper, Virat Kohli, is one of the most celebrated personalities in the world right now. The date of 2nd November marks the birthday of the Prince of Indian cricket. As a result, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/happy-birthday-virat-kohli-wishes-pour-in-for-the-indian-skipper-on-29th-birthday/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter clogged in with birthday wishes</a> for the talismanic Indian batsman who has taken the art of batting into a new high.

Be it former cricketers to the present ones, Bollywood celebrities or prominent businessmen, there were hardly few who did not spare a moment to type those 140 characters, wishing VK on his special.

As they say, one cannot reach great heights without making a few enemies or bitter rivalries on the way, the few who did not may fall into the &#8216;few&#8217; category who chose not to wish Virat Kohli on his 29th birthday. Here&#8217;s a look at some of them.

Even though India performed exceptionally well in all formats under the partnership of Kohli and Kumble, all wasn&#8217;t going down smoothly inside the dressing room for India. Kohli did not entertain the hard taskmaster attitude of Coach Kumble and also had a soft corner for Team Director Ravi Shastri.

After a month-long fiasco, better known as the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/complete-coverage-anil-kumble-virat-kohli-saga/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kohli-Kumble saga</a>, the leading wicket-taker for India chose to resign from his coveted position citing out the untenable relationship with the captain. No prizes for guessing there were no wishes for Kohli from the account of &#8216;Jumbo&#8217;.

Given that Kohli rose through ranks of Indian cricket partially due to his stint with the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/chris-gayle-claims-royal-challengers-bangalore-didnt-function-unit/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Royal Challengers Bangalore</a> in the IPL, Virat and Vijay Mallya (former owners of the RCB) did have a cordial relationship for a substantial time. But after accusation of money laundering and defaulting on bank loans with now-defunct Kingfisher Airlines, Mallya is currently fleeing from the country.

The visible low point in their relationship arrived when Mallya showed up uninvited at Virat Kohli Foundation&#8217;s Charity Ball in England during Champions Trophy. It was said that Mallya&#8217;s presence made Kohli and co. uncomfortable, so much so that the Indian players decided to call it a night earlier than scheduled, in order to maintain a dignified distance with the liquor baron. As a result, there were no wishes from the so-called &#8216;King of Good Times&#8217; either.

A renowned celebrity on Twitter post-retirement from International cricket, pace spearhead for Australia for a number of years, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/mitchell-johnsons-international-career-numbers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mitchell Johnson</a> has had a complex relationship with the Indian captain over the years. The flash point between the two came during the Melbourne Test when Mitchell Johnson, in order to intimidate VK, threw the ball at the stumps on his follow through, which only managed to hit Virat.

After avoiding a serious injury, in between the change of overs, Kohli sledged back saying, &#8220;Next time try to hit the stumps.&#8221; Mitch went ahead and claimed that he doesn&#8217;t respect Kohli, terming him as a spoilt brat. The captain during the press conference then lashed out at the southpaw claiming he is not here to earn respect but to win matches.

Also during the recent edition of the Border Gavaskar Trophy, Johnson took a dig at Kohli by saying that he is &#8216;frustrated&#8217; for not able to score during the series. The two apparently have no love lost for each other and it not a matter of great surprise that there was largely no birthday message from Downunder for Kohli.

Australians and Virat Kohli are not renowned to be the greatest of friends. In fact, after the Aussies mocked the Indian captain at Ranchi where he injured his shoulders, VK went on record to state, &#8220;I Can&#8217;t Call The Aussie Cricket Team My Friends Anymore.&#8221;

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/steve-smith-rubbishes-virat-kohlis-drs-abuse-stand-bengaluru-test/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Steve Smith</a> is one of those players who Kohli termed he can&#8217;t be friends with anymore. The two engaged in a verbal duel at two exclusive events during the press conference after the Bengaluru Test to zest up the Border-Gavaskar series.

Kohli went ahead and accused Smith of &#8216;cheating&#8217; when he referred to the Australian pavilion in order to consult whether to opt for DRS or not. Smudge then termed the entire incident as a &#8216;brain-fade&#8217; moment and recently ranted about the entire controversy in his autobiography &#8216;The Journey&#8217;, thereby, rubbishing Kohli&#8217;s claims.

If we trace Virat&#8217;s career, the leanest patch in terms of the run came during India&#8217;s tour to England where they lost the Test series by 3-1. Kohli kept nicking balls outside the off stump from Anderson and was dismissed in each of the innings he played cheaply.

Fast Forward a couple of years, a hapless English side faced a 4-0 defeat at the hands of the Indians where a spirited home side took revenge of the humiliating loss overseas. Virat had a spectacular Mumbai Test match where he slammed 235 in a difficult situation to take India towards safety.

However, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/south-africans-tipped-off-conditions-tough-dn-test-matches-australia-james-anderson/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Anderson</a> had a different view on the matter as he stated that VK is just a flat track bully and his technical shortcomings are hidden at home. Further, the leading wicket-taker claimed that Kohli was the biggest flop when the Indians toured England back in 2014.

Only time will tell if this hypothesis from Anderson holds true or not as Kohli would have a thing or two to prove when India travels England in July 2018.

Five birthday wishes that did not arrive for Virat Kohli on his 29th birthday

The Indian skipper, Virat Kohli, is one of the most celebrated personalities in the world right now. The date of 2nd November marks the birthday of the
