Kohli sweeps ICC awards
Print Edition
India captain Virat Kohli capped a memorable 2018 season by becoming the first to win the International Cricket Council’s cricketer, test and one-day international player of the year awards, the ICC said yesterday. Kohli, the top scorer in both tests and one-dayers in 2018, was also named captain of the ICC test and ODI teams of the year. The 30-year-old top-order batsman scored 1,322 runs in 13 tests at an average of 55.08, and scored 1,202 runs in 14 ODIs at an average of 133.55, notching up 11 centuries across the formats. “It feels amazing. It’s a reward for all the hard work that you do throughout the calendar year,” Kohli said in a statement. Kohli, who won cricketer and ODI player of the year in 2017, was the unanimous choice for the former award in 2018, with South Africa fast bowler Kagiso Rabada finishing runner-up, the ICC said. Rabada also finished second in the test player category, while Afghanistan leg-spinning wizard Rashid Khan was runner-up to Kohli for the ODI award.
