Virat Kohli wins ICC Men's ODI Player of the Year 2023

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.

The star batter concluded the tournament with an average of 95.62 and a strike rate of 90.31 with 3 hundreds, including one in the semi-final against New Zealand. His run in the World Cup, helped India reach the finals.
In 2023, Kohli amassed 2048 runs in 36 international innings.

He smashed 8 centuries across formats in 2023, surpassing the leading run-getter Shubman Gill by one century. Kohli and Gill were the sole cricketers to breach the 2000 run mark in international cricket, with Gill dominating ODIs with an impressive 1548 runs.

Notably, he surpassed Sachin Tendulkar’s historical record for the most ODI hundreds during the World Cup, achieving the milestone of being the first cricketer to achieve 50 centuries in 50-over cricket.
