Virat Kohli gets most runs, centuries, man of the match, player of the series awards: Full details
New Delhi, Dec 23: The third one-day international between India and West Indies in Cuttack on Sunday (December 22) concluded the outgoing year 2019 on a dominant note for Team India.
With their win against the Windies in Cuttack, Team India also played its final game of this decade and signed off in style. If one looks back at the achievements on the cricket pitch in the last 10 years, then it was dominated by Team India and a big reason for this was a phenomenon called Virat Kohli.
The prolific run-getter from India has stamped his authority in international cricket, especially in the ODIs. The right-handed batsman from Delhi went from strength to strength in these 10 years and numbers now prove why he's held in such high esteem in the cricketing corridors.
Kohli played the most number of ODIs in the last 10 years and even scored the most runs, most centuries, won most player of the match and player of the series awards. Kohli has left his mark across all formats of the game but the run machine's performances in the 50-over format in the last 10 years make him as one of the all-time greats of the game.
