Virat Kohli bags ICC Player of the Month award

Indian batting star Virat Kohli has been named the ICC Men’s Player of the Month for October 2022 after some outstanding performances in the ongoing T20 World Cup. He has been instrumental in India reaching the semi-finals in the T20 WC.

Zimbabwe’s Sikandar Raza and South Africa’s David Miller were the other nominees for the award along with Kohli, but the Indian batter beat them to claim the title.

Virat Kohli’s in only four innings in October scored match-winning knocks, including a magical 82* against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup. His knock of 82* from just 53 deliveries helped India win a crunch situation against Pakistan. Kohli also went on to admit during the post-match interview that it was the best knock of his T20I career.
