In the world of cricket, winning an ICC trophy is a dream for many players, and achieving this multiple times is a remarkable feat. Among active international cricketers, a select few have managed to collect multiple ICC titles, a testament to their skill, consistency, and ability to perform on the big stage. Recent victories have added more names to this exclusive list, particularly from Australia and India, the two most successful teams in ICC tournaments over the past decade and a half.
Australian Quartet Tops the List with Four Trophies Each
Leading the pack are four Australian cricket stars: Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Steven Smith, and Josh Hazlewood, each boasting four ICC trophies. These players have been integral parts of the Australian cricket team for over a decade and have consistently delivered outstanding performances.
- Mitchell Starc and Steven Smith have been part of Australia’s victorious squads in the 2015 and 2023 ODI World Cups, the 2022 T20 World Cup, and the 2023 World Test Championship.
- Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood, while joining the ranks a bit later, have also been crucial to these victories, making them key figures in Australia’s recent dominance in ICC events.
Their collective achievements have set a high bar, showcasing Australia's continued excellence in international cricket.
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli: India’s Trophy Collectors
India’s cricket icons, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, each have three ICC trophies to their names, making them the second-highest among active players.
- Rohit Sharma made his mark early, being part of the Indian team that won the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007. The victory was historic as it was the first tournament of its kind, held in South Africa, where India defeated Pakistan in the final.
- Virat Kohli, on the other hand, played a key role in India’s 2011 ODI World Cup triumph, a memorable win on home soil.
Both stars were part of the team that won the 2013 Champions Trophy in England, and their recent victory in the 2024 T20 World Cup has added another prestigious title to their illustrious careers.
Interestingly, the list of active cricketers with the most ICC trophies is dominated by players from Australia and India, reflecting the dominance of these two nations in recent years. No other countries have produced players with such a high number of ICC trophies in the same period.
