Kohli, Perry named cricketers of the decade<\/span><\/h1>\n

Dubai, Monday: India captain Virat Kohli was named the ICC\u2019s male cricketer of the decade on Monday as Australia all-rounder Ellyse Perry swept the top women\u2019s awards.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kohli and Perry were the big winners in the International Cricket Council\u2019s Awards of the Decade, while Australian batsman Steve Smith was crowned the best Test player.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kohli, who was also named ODI player of the decade, lifted the 2011 World Cup and the 2013 Champions Trophy with India, before inspiring their first Test series victory on Australian soil two years ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just been an honour for me to be able to go out there and perform for my team, and it\u2019s a great honour for me to win this award,\u201d Kohli said in a video message.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy only intention was to make winning contributions for the team and I just strive to do that in every game,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

India\u2019s all-formats captain was the decade\u2019s highest run-scorer with 20,396, hitting the most fifties (66) and having the highest average (56.97) of players with more than 70 innings.<\/span><\/p>\n

He was also the only player with more than 10,000 one-day international runs, including 39 centuries and 48 fifties at an average of 61.83.<\/span><\/p>\n

Perry was named female cricketer of the decade as well as the top ODI and T20 player as she cleaned up in the women\u2019s awards.<\/span><\/p>\n

Perry, who also played football for Australia at the 2011 World Cup, won four T20 world titles and the 2013 one-day World Cup, scoring 4,349 runs and taking 213 wickets in the decade.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been tremendous to develop the women\u2019s T20 game and take it forward,\u201d Perry said. \u201cAmazing to see where it\u2019s come from when I was introduced to it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Smith, who averaged 65.79 with 26 centuries and 28 fifties, won the Test award despite his role in the ball-tampering scandal at the 2018 Cape Town Test which saw him banned for a year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Afghanistan spinner Rashid Khan said he was \u201cspeechless\u201d after being picked as the men\u2019s T20 player of the decade.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFor someone from Afghanistan to get this award, it\u2019s a special moment for me,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni won the decade\u2019s Spirit of Cricket award for sportingly calling back England batsman Ian Bell after a bizarre run-out in the 2011 Nottingham Test.<\/span><\/p>\n

And Scotland\u2019s Kyle Coetzer and Kathryn Bryce were named the decade\u2019s best male and female cricketers from associate, or non-Test playing, countries. AFP<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
