Virat Kohli gets the ICC ODI Player of the Year Award.

Indian cricket star Virat Kohli won two big awards from the International Cricket Council (ICC). He got the ICC ODI Player of the Year award and was also picked for the ICC Men’s ODI Team of the Year 2023. He got these awards at a special event in New York.

The ICC shared a video on social media of Kohli getting his award and a cap, which is a big honor in cricket.

This recognition is important because Kohli’s team is getting ready for their first match in the T20 World Cup against Ireland on June 5th. Kohli, who is 35 years old, had a really good year in 2023 after not playing so well for a while.

In 27 ODIs this year, Kohli scored 1,377 runs. He hit six centuries and eight half-centuries. His average was really good, at 72.47, and he had a strike rate of 99.13. His highest score was 166 runs, which shows how talented he is and how much he helps the team.

Kohli played a big part in India winning the Asia Cup 2023. One of his best games was when he scored 122 runs without getting out against Pakistan in an important match. His efforts were key to India doing well in the tournament.

In the ODI World Cup last year, held in India, Kohli showed again why he’s one of the best players in the game. He scored 765 runs in 11 matches, with a really high average of 95.62. He hit three centuries and six half-centuries, with a top score of 117. He was the top scorer in the tournament, breaking the record set by the legendary Sachin Tendulkar in the 2003 World Cup.

Adding to his list of achievements, Kohli scored his 50th ODI century in the semi-final against New Zealand. He broke Tendulkar’s record of 49 ODI centuries, which had stood for a long time. This showed how good Kohli is and how well he plays cricket.

Now, Kohli is getting ready to play for the Indian team in the ICC T20 World Cup. It will happen in the West Indies and the USA. His recent awards and good performances have made the team feel really confident as they get ready for the tournament.

Kohli’s journey in 2023 has been really impressive. He came back strong and played really well all year, which is why he got these big awards from the ICC. Fans all over the world are excited to see Kohli keep playing so well in the upcoming T20 World Cup.
