Virat Kohli wins ICC Men’s ODI Cricketer of the Year Award for Fourth Time
Indian star batter Virat Kohli won the ICC ODI Player of the Year award for the fourth time, after his record-breaking performance in the World Cup 2023. Kohli had previously won this particular award in 2012, 2017, and 2018. He was also nominated for the ICC Cricketer of the Year 2023 award.
Notably, the 35-year-old player has become the first-ever cricketer to clinch this award four times, surpassing AB de Villiers’ tally of 3 awards. Kohli built on his comeback in 2022 with a spectacular 2023, where he found peak form in ODIs and capped it off with a Player of the Tournament performance at the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023.
He smashed at least fifty in 9 of his 11 innings at the World Cup, finishing with a mind-blowing 765 runs, the most ever scored by a batter at the men’s World Cup, going past the previous record set by Sachin Tendulkar in 2003.
