5 players who could win the 2018 ICC ODI player of the year award

#1 Virat Kohli

England v India - 2nd ODI: Royal London One-Day Series

Virat Kohli, the Indian Captain has clearly been the best ODI Player of the Year 2018. The 30-year-old has led the young Indian team by example and has led the middle-order for India.

He has shouldered a lot of responsibility in addition to performing with the bat. His sheer brutality with the bat and his brilliant captaincy has been exemplary. He has also been the lone warrior for India in the middle-order batting conundrum.

He has featured in 14 ODI matches and has scored mammoth 1202 runs at a brilliant average of 133.56 and an extraordinary strike-rate of 102.56. He has also achieved many milestones and has his name entered in most of the record books.

With such great captaincy and individual performances, Virat Kohli undoubtedly looks like the major contender to bag the ODI Player of the Year Award.
