List of other winners of ICC Emerging players over the years

2004 - Irfan Pathan

2005 - Kevin Pietersen

2006 - Ian Bell

2007 - Shaun Tait

2008 - Ajantha Mendis

2009 - Peter Siddle

2010 - Steve Finn

2011 - Devendra Bishoo

2012 - Sunil Narine

2013 - Pujara

2014 - Gary Ballance

2015 - Josh Hazlewood

2016 - Mustafizur Rahman

2017 - Hasan Ali

 

Other than KP, Bell, Pujara and Hazlewood, none have gone onto to have a decent Test career. I hope Pant can reverse the trend. Has had a great start to the year.

Several of them were given based on ODIs, not tests likes of Narine, rahman, Hasan, Tait, etc.  Peter Siddle also had a decent career with 64 tests and 214 test wickets.

Fully deserved

[Laaloo]

Awesome

[chewy]

Hopefully continues into 2019, wins WC and bags it for third consecutive year...will be first to do and probably confirm as the best batsman ever

[Adi BB]

It's so clear that there is not a single batsmen close to kohli, he's class apart from the rest but there will be a downfall this year or maybe the next year due to over exertion ,especially IPL 

[Jimmypage]

He is achieved this when India was playing abroad mostly accept couple of Windies tests at home. This takes this achievement to even greater heights 

 

If only he had some support in SA & Eng we could have got better results.

[putrevus]

Congrats Kohli.Trifecta would have been more sweeter if India had won either in SA or England.

Well deserved .

The big one is "Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy", last 3 of them (2016-18) have been won by Indians. Only other time that has happened was when Clarke, Johnson, Smith won it 3 consecutive times.

[SK_IH]

Fabulous achievement, well deserved.

[flamy]

Utterly deserved.
