Virat Kohli was presented with multiple awards by ICC ahead of India's T20 World Cup 2024 opener against Ireland.

Team India will be hoping to showcase their might in the T20 World Cup in West Indies and USA. After the World Cup 2023 heartbreak, the onus will be on the players to finally get their hands on an ICC trophy.

Virat Kohli will be a pivotal part of the India squad. The batter has been in stellar form of late. He had a superb IPL 2024 season with RCB, where he scored 741 runs and won the Orange Cap. As Kohli gears up for the Ireland clash, the player was presented with two ICC awards.

Kohli was presented the ICC ODI Player of the Year 2023 Trophy and the ICC ODI Team of the Year 2023 cap. ICC released pictures of Kohli posing with his new accolades.

The 35-year-old was sublime in the 50-over format last year. He scored 1377 runs in just 24 innings, with an average north of 72. The India batter scored 6 centuries and 8 fifties last year, one of which was the historic ton against New Zealand in the World Cup semifinal which sits him atop with most ODI centuries in the history of the game.

Kohli joined the Indian team a bit later than others and didn't take part in the warm-up match against Bangladesh. The men in Blue blew away the Tigers with ease and will be hoping to do the same to Ireland on Wednesday.

India is placed in Group A along with Ireland, USA, Canada and arch-rivals Pakistan.
