Indian cricket is basking in the afterglow of a stellar year, with several of its players being recognized by the ICC for their outstanding performances. Suryakumar Yadav, the world’s No. 1 ranked T20I batsman, led the charge, receiving two prestigious awards:
ICC Men’s T20I Cricketer of the Year
This award cements Yadav’s position as the most dominant batsman in the shortest format. His blistering knocks throughout 2023, including two centuries and five fifties, were a nightmare for bowlers worldwide.
ICC T20I Team of the Year Cap
Not only did Yadav excel individually, but he was also named the captain of the ICC’s T20I Team of the Year for 2023. This recognition signifies his leadership qualities and overall impact on the format.
ICC Test Team of the Year cap
Another vital cog in the Indian team, Ravindra Jadeja, wasn’t left out. The all-rounder received the ICC Test Team of the Year Cap, a testament to his consistent contributions with both bat and ball in the longest format.
ICC ODI Team of the Year Cap
The Limited-Overs formats saw a strong Indian presence as well. Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Kuldeep Yadav, and Mohammed Siraj were all presented with ICC ODI Team of the Year Caps, highlighting India’s dominance in One-Day Internationals.
Young pacer Arshdeep Singh, who impressed with his swing and pace, rounded out the list by receiving an ICC T20I Team of the Year Cap.
This haul of awards is a significant achievement for Indian cricket, showcasing the team’s depth and talent across all formats. With the T20 World Cup just around the corner, these players will be looking to translate their individual brilliance into collective success for India on the biggest stage.
