ICC announces men's ODI team of the year 2023

The standout feature of this elite squad is the dominance of players from Australia and India, particularly those who showcased their skills in the final of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup.

Leading the charge is Indian skipper Rohit Sharma, who enjoyed a sensational year with the bat, amassing an impressive 1255 runs at an average of 52. Sharma’s brilliance was evident throughout the World Cup, with a magnificent knock of 131 against Afghanistan standing out. His 31 sixes in the tournament showcased his aggressive yet calculated approach.

His memorable knock of 137 and a crucial half-century in the semi-final earned him the Player of the Match accolade as Australia clinched their record sixth World Cup title.
