Kohli, who has been on a roll with the willow, was awarded the prestigious Polly Umrigar award while all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin was presented with the Dilip Sardesai award at the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) annual awards on March 8 in Bengaluru.

Kohli, who received the award in 2011-12 and in 2014-15, became the first Indian cricketer to be bestowed with the honour on three occasions. Ashwin, who won the Dilip Sardesai award in 2011, became the first Indian cricketer to receive the honour twice.

On receiving the award, Kohli said, “It’s been quite unbelievable the last 10 to 12 months. I am not bothered who thinks what. This is the attitude in dressing room. We learn to win together and lose together. I wanted to be the best in all formats. I saw it as an opportunity and I decided to follow a path and the whole team believed it.”
