Among several big names that wished Kohli on his birthday, Italian football player Agata Isabella Centasso also came up with a special post for the veteran cricketer.

Her verified X Bio reads: "Italian Football player, Social Worker. Love sports, dogs, irony and my city. Intrigued by India." She often posts about India.

On Kohli's birthday, Agata wrote: "@imVkohli, happy birthday from a fan in Italy. All the best to you"

However, some social media users trolled her after her post.

Agata was quick to respond to the trolls: "Every time I post something about Virat Kohli or cricket, there's always someone bringing negativity. I honestly don't understand why. Namaste," she wrote.

He was recently seen in action during the home Test series against New Zealand which India lost 0-3 and had a disappointing outing with the bat.
