7 players who have won more than two ICC awards

#2 Ricky Ponting

With four ICC awards to his name, Ricky Ponting is tied with the next player in the slideshow in terms of the number of such awards.

Cricketer of the Year & Test Player of the Year (2006) - At the ICC Awards 2006 Ponting was named both the Cricketer of the Year as well as the Test Player of the Year for his outstanding year in Tests. During the voting period that spanned a year, Ponting gathered 1791 runs at an average of around 69 runs per innings. Ponting left behind Michael Hussey, Mohammed Yousuf, Muttiah Muralitharan and Shane Warne in the race to these prestigious awards.

Cricketer of the Year & Captain of the Year (2007) - While 2007 was not such a good year for Ponting in Tests, it was so in the ODIs, where he scored 1433 runs in 24 innings at an average of 84.3. His strike-rate during the qualification period was around 92. His most telling contributions came in the 2007 World Cup, where he ended up as the third highest run-getter of the tournament. Leading from the front Ponting scored 539 runs at an average of 67 runs per innings.

His brilliant run in the World Cup and the year at large was well complemented by the World Cup win. Emboldened under the captaincy of Ricky, Australia continued its reign in international cricket. His batting and captaincy efforts deservedly culminated in ICC naming him as the captain as well as the cricketer of the year.
