Virat Kohli: The Indian batsman Virat Kohli, who has been in outstanding form during the current T20 World Cup, has been named the ICC Player Of The Month for October 2022. Kohli amassed three half-centuries, including an 82-run match-winning knock against Pakistan. Along with Kohli, Sikandar Raza of Zimbabwe and David Miller of South Africa were also finalists, but Kohli ultimately won the prize.
Nida Dar, a senior all-rounder for Pakistan, was named the ICC Women’s Player of the Month as a result of her outstanding play during their Women’s Asia Cup campaign.
Only four innings were played by the 34-year-old Virat Kohli in October, but those four innings produced three unforgettable hits, including a remarkable 82* against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup. He has also scored half-centuries in the current competition against Bangladesh and the Netherlands.
