The UAE leg of IPL 7 is coming to an end today (April 30) and most of the players are on their way back to India.

The matches in India will resume from May 2 and Royal Challengers Bangalore will have their first day on field on May 4 in Bangalore.

A perfect break for captain Virat Kohli to plan a quick getaway to celebrate rumoured girlfriend Anushka Sharma's birthday on May 1.

The cricketer flew down to India on April 29 and might squeeze in some time into his packed IPL schedule.

Busy Anushka Sharma, who turns 26 on May 1, will be shooting in Rajasthan for her home production, 'NH10'.

Indian media reported that a special video featuring birthday wishes from her celeb friends is going to be presented to her on May 1.

It is also said that some of the names who have wished the actress in the video include Ranbir Kapoor, Anurag Kashyap and the actress' parents. Whether Virat features in the video is not clear.

Virat and Anushka have been close friends for eight months now and Virat also visited her in Sri Lanka when she was shooting for 'Bombay Velvet'.

They were earlier spotted together in Auckland where she was shooting a commercial, while Virat was touring with the Indian cricket team.

During the opening gala of IPL in Abu Dhabi when actor Shah Rukh Khan conducted a mock swayamvar he picked up Anushka's picture among eight contestants.

Well, we know who Virat wants - time for Anushka to make it public.

All's not well between Ranveer, Virat

When actor Ranveer Singh introduced cricketer Virat Kohli to his then 'close friend', actor Anushka Sharma, he may not have guessed that the two would end up dating.

And now, "things are strained between the two men," a source was quoted as telling a tabloid, adding: "Ranveer and Anushka are not in touch, but they'll say 'hello' if they bump into each other. However, Ranveer may not be cordial with Virat, he doesn't approve of Virat's closeness with Anushka."
