Virat Kohli named ICC Male Cricketer of the Decade, MS Dhoni receives 'Spirit of Cricket' honour
The International Cricket Council on Monday recognised Kohli’s achievements by naming him the Men’s ODI cricketer of the decade.
Indian captain Virat Kohli has been one of the most prolific run-getters in international cricket since making his debut. But his domination of the 50-over format has been unlike any cricketer ever. Such has been his consistency in one-day internationals that he is primed to break the records of his idol Sachin Tendulkar, whose feats were once considered untouchable.
Former India skipper MS Dhoni won the 'ICC Spirit of Cricket Award of the Decade', chosen by fans for his gesture of calling back England batsman Ian Bell after a bizarre run out in the Nottingham Test in 2011.
