New Delhi, Jan 22: India cricketer Virat Kohli on Tuesday became the first player to bag all three top honours in the ICC Awards after winning the ICC Cricketer of the Year, ICC Test and ODI Player of the Year Awards for the year 2018.

This is the second consecutive year when the Indian captain and batting mainstay has won the prestigious Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy. The 30-year-old batsman from Delhi was also named the captain of the Test and ODI teams. The right-handed batsman amassed 1,322 runs at an average of 55.08 in 13 Tests last year, while he managed 1,202 at an incredible average of 133.55 in 14 ODIs.

"It feels amazing. It's a reward for all the hard work that you do throughout the calendar year. I feel really grateful and very, very happy with the team doing well at the same time as myself performing," said Kohli from New Zealand as India prepare to lock horns with the Blackcaps in the first of five-ODI series.
