DUBAI: Shubman Gill, the vice-captain of the Indian team, has been named the ICC Men’s Player of the Month for February 2025 on Wednesday.
The opener pipped Australia’s stand-in skipper Steve Smith and New Zealand’s Glenn Phillips to claim the award.
The 25-year-old accumulated 406 runs at a staggering average of 101.50 in five matchesches over the course of the month.
In his five one-day internationals over the course of the month, Gill compiled 406 runs, averaging 101.50 at a strike rate of 94.19.
The right-hander carried his good form with the bat in the Champions Trophy, after demonstrating excellent performances against England in the home series.
Shubman Gill amassed 259 runs from three matches at an average of 86.33, laced with one hundred and two fifties in the multi-nation tournament.
He was also named as Player of the series in the Indian team’s landslide 3-0 victory against England.
The opener scored two half-centuries in the series against England, along with a sublime hundred in the last match of the series—his breathtaking knock of 112 from 102 balls, featured 14 fours and three sixes.
After the series, Shubman Gill started his Champions Trophy campaign with an unbeaten 101 to steer the Indian team to a comfortable victory against Bangladesh in their tournament opener.
In the second match against arch-rivals Pakistan, Gill dismantled the Pakistani pace attack with an elegant knock of 46 laced with elegant boundaries.
The opener has now bagged three ICC Player of the Month awards. Previously, he bagged the particular award in January and September 2023.
