- Star batter Virat Kohli was on Monday named the ICC Men’s Player of the Month for October following a series of stellar performances during India’s charge to the T20 World Cup semifinals in Australia.
- The 34-year-old Kohli batted in only four innings in October but he churned out three memorable knocks, including a magical 82* against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup.
- He has also registered half-centuries against the Netherlands and Bangladesh in the ongoing tournament.
- India had their backs against the wall when Pakistan reduced them to 31/4 while chasing 160 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, but Kohli steered the chase with a breathtaking knock of 82* from just 53 deliveries to take Rohit Sharma and co over the line.
