Indian captain Virat Kohli has ruled the world with the bat in the first-ever ICC Awards of the Decade where he won two prestigious honours in a virtual ceremony on Monday. Kohli, who has been in a formidable form for the Team India in the 50-over format in last 10 years, has won the men’s ODI Player of the Decade award as well as the Sir Garfield Sobers Award for ICC Men’s Cricketer of the Decade too.

After Kohli won the awards, Australia’s swashbuckling opener David Warner took to Instagram and shared a funny face-swap video of himself where his face can be seen superimposed on the Indian captain’s face. However, keeping the fun aside, Warner congratulated Virat Kohli for his great achievement and the two “well-deserved” awards as well.

“No one will guess this player of the decade @virat.kohli #congrats #funny #faceswap #seriousplayer #gun #welldeserved,” David Warned wrote on Instagram.
