Virat Kohli bags Indian cricketer of the year award

Indian Test captain Virat Kohli has been named ‘Indian Cricketer of the Year’ while Mithali Raj was picked for the top women’s award in the BCCI annual honours to be given away on 5 January in Mumbai.
Kohli had a memorable cricket season, winning his maiden away series as captain against Sri Lanka and thumping South Africa at home. He has been among runs, playing vital knocks in both the formats.
