Though the Games 2012 is over, the good news continues pouring the nation from sports arena, as in-form India batsman Virat Kohli, the leading run-scorer in ODIs this year along with Sachin Tendulkar has been nominated for the top ICC Awards 2012.

While Kohli has been nominated for the Cricketer of the Year and ODI Cricketer of the Year awards, Tendulkar has once again been nominated for the ICC People's Choice award.

Those nominated for the People's Choice award include Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara, South Africa's duo Vernon Philander and Jacques Kallis, while England's James Anderson makes up the quintet of nominees.

For the third time in the history of the awards, fans will have the opportunity to decide the winner, this time by accessing an application on the ICC's official Facebook page: www.facebook.com/cricketicc. Voting will be open until midnight August 31. Both Sangakkara (2011) and Tendulkar (2010) have won the award in the past.

India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and opener Gautam Gambhir have also been nominated for the ODI Cricketer of the Year award. However, India doesn't have a single nomination in the Test Cricketer of the Year award.

Congratulations Indians, we hope you emerge out as winners all the nominated categories!
