Virat Kohli has become the best ODI player of the year 2023.
Virat Kohli is not just a name but a brand himself. Those who thought that Virat Kohli’s downfall had come and that this was his phase from 2019-22, when he was going through the most difficult stage of his life and career and it seemed that his career had ended, were wrong. Many people started defaming him and said that Virat Kohli was finished, that the brand that his name used to be was no more. Well, that’s not the case right now. A brand is a brand, the class is permanent, the form is temporary. Yes, Virat Kohli was out of form from 2019-22. We, as Virat Kohli fans, and millions of fans like us, knew that King Kohli would return again and would return in his own style. And he has done this, he returned in 2023 and created history. He achieved the highest number of centuries in ODI. Sachin Tendulkar is considered to be the GOD of cricket, but Virat Kohli beat his record and became the only cricketer in the world with the most centuries in ODI. It was only the fans like us who had faith in him, that Virat Kohli would come back and match his prime form and would dominate. Expectations are very high when we talk about a big name like Virat Kohli. The year 2023 was the dream year of Virat Kohli, what a comeback he has made. When he makes a comeback, he makes a big bang. He won this ICC award and became the greatest ODI player in history. He was also no doubt very deserving of this and he had shown very good performances in the entire World Cup. He performed amazingly and became the highest run scorer. And even though we unfortunately lost the final match, otherwise, if you saw, we played the entire World Cup in our own way and the way Virat’s bat spoke meant that team India was dominant.
Why is this award so special?
This ICC award is so special because it is important for you to know that Virat Kohli has won this ICC award for the 10th time. Playing 27 matches in the ODI format in 2023, Kohli accumulated a staggering 1377 runs in just 24 innings. He boasted an amazing average of 72.47, revealing his mastery and steadiness in the 50-over format. In addition, his splendid record of six centuries and eight half-centuries confirms his skill and impact on the field. So, you can imagine how big a player Virat Kohli is. And what a big name he is. The Olympic federation has considered cricket as a new sport in the Olympic games and even the Olympic federation said that “cricket” has been taken to the Olympics only because of one name and that name is our KING KOHLI, i.e. Virat Kohli.
