Messi played mostly for Inter Miami where he helped the side to win their first ever title at MLS. He was very good in the league, but the quality in the league is not considered to be high.

Exceptional year for Virat Kohli

But his best performance came in ODIs, where he was back to his best after a long time. Virat scored over 1300 runs in the format at an average of over 72.
At the biggest stage in cricket in 2023, Virat created several records. The Indian batter became the first batter to score more than 700 runs in a single edition of the ODI WC 2023. Virat now has the most runs in a single edition of the ODI WC (765 runs). For his exceptional batting, Virat won the Player of the Tournament award. All these points contributed towards Virat winning the award.
