Virat Kohli's Hall of Fame: A complete record of the ICC and Wisden honours that define a modern great

A cabinet stuffed with silverware

Very few players in the history of the game can lay claim to the sheer volume of individual honours that Virat Kohli has accumulated. A consolidated view of the Indian batting great's player profile lays bare the scale of his dominance across formats — and across an entire decade.

Two-time ICC Men's Cricketer of the Year

Kohli was named the ICC Men's Cricketer of the Year in both 2017 and 2018, the award recognising the best player in world cricket across all formats in those calendar years.

A four-time ODI Cricketer of the Year

His mastery of the 50-over game is reflected in four ICC Men's ODI Cricketer of the Year crowns — claimed in 2012, 2017, 2018 and 2023 — a run of recognition that spans more than a decade at the top of the white-ball game.

Test and decade honours

In 2018 he was also crowned ICC Men's Test Cricketer of the Year. The ICC went further in honouring his consistency, naming him both the ICC Men's Cricketer of the Decade and the ICC Men's ODI Cricketer of the Decade for the period 2011-2020.

Wisden's stamp of approval

The almanack's verdict has been just as glowing. Kohli was among the Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 2019, was named Wisden Leading Cricketer in the World on three occasions (2017, 2018 and 2019), and was Wisden India Cricketer of the Year twice (2013 and 2017).

A recent reminder of his appetite

The hunger for records has carried into the back end of the 2020s. As reported on September 28, 2026, Kohli blazed to 139 not out off 88 balls against West Indies in Thiruvananthapuram — the third-fastest ODI century of his career — a reminder that, for one of the game's most decorated figures, the honours may not yet be complete.
