India captain Virat Kohli won the ICC Spirit of Cricket Award for his gesture towards Australia batsman Steve Smith during the India-Australia clash in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.

India seamer Deepak Chahar, who made inroads into the limited-overs side this year, won the award for Best T20I Performance of the year. Chahar had registered bowling figures of 4-2-8-6 including a hat-trick against Bangladesh in Nagpur.

Australia all-rounder Marnus Labuschagne, who made a surprising Test debut in the Ashes, ended up winning the ICC Men’s Emerging Cricketer Award on the back of scoring 1,066 runs in 10 Test matches at an average of 66.62 and a strike rate of 56.22 including three centuries and seven half-centuries.
