In the 2018-19 season, Virat Kohli scored 1064 runs in ODIs at an insane average of 76 that included six centuries and one fifty. His exploits in Tests was no less crucial for Team India as he scored 466 runs at an average of 52 and that helped India in a big way as India secured a Test series win in Australia while winning a Test apiece in England and South Africa. 

Keeping his incredible stats in mind, he has been named as the international cricketer of the year and the best batsman of the year by CEAT. Meanwhile, Jasprit Bumrah took home the award for best bowler after rightfully becoming India’s best all-weather bowler in the last one year or so.
