Virat Kohli completes the unique quadruple of ICC Trophies, Etches his Name in History Books
Virat Kohli cricket completed a full circle as he finally added an ICC T20 World Cup Trophy to his resume, having already won the ODI World Cup (2011), the Champions Trophy (2013), and the U19 World Cup (2008). With his place in the T20 team being repeatedly questioned, Kohli rose to the occasion with a match-winning half-century against South Africa in the T20 World Cup 2024 final. The gritty 59-ball 76 of Kohli gave India a fighting total of 176, a score that Rohit Sharma’s men successfully defended.
Kohli is one of the most successful players in the history of cricket. He has won the T20 World Cup title for the first time in his career, completing a unique quadruple of ICC trophies that even the great MS Dhoni didn’t manage to.
By adding the T20 World Cup trophy to his cabinet, Kohli clinched all four white-ball ICC titles that a player can win in his career, an accomplishment matched by only Yuvraj Singh in the world, though in a slightly different way.
- 2008 U19 World Cup.
- 2011 World Cup.
- 2013 Champions Trophy.
- 2024 T20 World Cup.
Yuvraj won the ICC Champions Trophy in 2002 (India were joint-winners with Sri Lanka), while also lifting the U19 World Cup in 2000, the T20 World Cup in 2007, and the ODI World Cup in 2011.
