Following India is Australia, which has two players in the "ICC Men's ODI Team of the Decade".

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.

Kohli is also in the running for four awards - ICC male cricketer of the decade, men's Test cricketer, men's ODI cricketer and men's T20I cricketer of the decade. As a result, Rashid Khan has earned it for the T20I cricketer of the decade in men's category. At the same time, Australian superstar Steve Smith has been chosen as Test Player of the Decade.

He had the fifth-most Test runs in the voting period - behind Englishmen Joe Root and Alistair Cook, teammate David Warner and India captain Virat Kohli - but his average was far and away the highest of the contenders.

India skipper Virat Kohli has been named the ICC Male Cricketer of the Decade and the ICC Men's ODI Cricketer of the Decade while Australia batsman Steve Smith bagged the ICC Men's Test Cricketer of the Decade award.

The International Cricket Council has announced several other awards on Monday, furthering its 2020 award.
