Gill nominated for ICC Player of the Month award

Riding on his superb performance in the ODI series against England last month and also his brilliant century against Bangladesh in 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, India batter Shubman Gill has been nominated for the ICC Player of the Month award for the month of February.

Gill hit a purple patch in the three-match series against England, scoring 87 (in Nagpur), 60 (in Cuttack), and 112 (in Ahmedabad) as he was adjudged the ‘Player of the Series’ in the hosts’ 3-0 clean sweep.

Gill then went on to score an unbeaten 101 against Bangladesh, followed by a decent knock of 46 against arch-rivals Pakistan in India’s second match of the ongoing Champions Trophy.

Australia skipper for the Champions Trophy, Steve Smith shone during the Test series against Sri Lanka, scoring 141 and 131 in the two matches his side played there. He was also awarded the Player of the Series award for his spectacular batting performance.

New Zealand all-rounder Glenn Phillips played a stunning knock of 106 against Pakistan in the tri-series which also comprised of South Africa. He then carried this momentum into the Champions Trophy, scoring 61 in the Black Caps’ opening match against Pakistan.
