After a prolific run with the willow last year, India skipper Virat Kohli on Thursday swept the International Cricket Council (ICC) annual awards as the 29-year won the prestigious Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for being the World Cricketer of the Year 2017.
Kohli was also named as ICC ODI cricketer of the year 2017 and the captain of both ICC Test and ODI teams.
It is the second time Kohli has been named as the ODI cricketer of the year as he won the same honour in 2012 when he was 24 years old.
In July 2016, Kohli was yet to hit a Test double-century. In the period since he has hit six, taking his long format game to new heights #ICCAwards pic.twitter.com/50Mr1p1kHsThe award, which was decided for performance based on the period between September 21, 2016 to December 31, 2017, the Indian skipper scored 2,203 Test runs at an average of 77.80.
