"My only intention was to make winning contributions for the team and I just strive to do that in every game. Stats just become the byproduct of what you want to do on the field," Kohli said after winning the award.
Rohit, who is India's vice-captain in the limited-overs format, lauded Kohli for winning big at the ICC awards.
