After the major series debacle in South Africa, the Indian cricket fans and captain Virat Kohli have got something to cheer about. Virat was named as the International Cricket Council One Day International (ODI) Cricketer of the Year at the ICC Awards on Thursday. The Indian captain was also named the ICC Cricketer of the Year and captain of both ICC Test and ODI teams.

Indian skipper had led India to the final of Champions Trophy 2017 against Pakistan, ODI series win over England, West Indies, Sri Lanka, Australia, New Zealand and Test series win over Bangladesh, Australia and Sri Lanka (twice).

The award was decided for performance based on the period between September 21, 2016 to December 31, 2017, Virat Kohli scored 2,203 Test runs at an average of 77.80.

The Delhi lad also scored eight centuries in the time period in the longest format, including five double hundreds.
