Cricketer Virat Kohli, who scored his 49th ODI century against South Africa on Sunday, turned 35. He was caught dancing to Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan song. It’s unmistakably Virat Kohli’s day.
Following his historic 49th ODI century on his 35th birthday, the cricketer has now professed his love for Shah Rukh Khan during India’s World Cup match against South Africa. Virat sang along to Chaleya, Shah Rukh’s song from his latest blockbuster Jawan, which was playing on the stadium speakers and even struck the actor’s signature pose.
When Arijit Singh’s Chaleya started playing over the speakers in Kolkata’s Eden Gardens, Virat was fielding. He began by singing along before breaking into Shah Rukh’s iconic signature arms-spread-wide pose for a brief second as the live audience erupted in applause.

Atlee, the director of Jawan, took to X (formerly Twitter) and reposted a fan account that shared a video of Virat grooving to Chaleya. In the caption, the filmmaker wrote, “OMG (red heart emojis).” Netflix India, which is currently streaming Jawan, also posted a user account that shared the same video with the caption, “King recognises king (sparkle emoji).”

Moments later, it established a Jawan x Virat crossover by sharing a still from the streamer’s recent promo, in which Shah Rukh announced the OTT premiere of Jawan on his birthday earlier this week. The caption for the Shah Rukh still shared by Netflix India read, “A gift for you, on my birthday. When one King predicted another King’s innings @imVkohli (crown emoji) #INDvsSA.”

Surprisingly, Virat’s wife, actress Anushka Sharma, congratulated him as well, sharing a photo of his historic 49th ODI moment with the caption, “Apne birthday pe khud ko present (100 emoji).”
Anushka Sharma, Virat’s wife, made her Bollywood debut alongside Shah Rukh in Aditya Chopra’s 2008 romantic film Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. She later appeared in Yash Chopra’s Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012), Imtiaz Ali’s Jab Harry Met Sejal (2017), and Aanand L Rai’s Zero (2018) with him. While Anushka’s next film will be Chakda Express, Shah Rukh’s next film, Dunki, will be released on Christmas.
