Shubman Gill Among Nominees For ICC’s Player Of The Month Award
Kashmir Observer
|AUGUST 7, 2025 ISSUE
India captain Shubman Gill was on Wednesday named among the three nominees for ICC's Player of the Month award for July along with South Africa's Wiaan Mulder and England skipper Ben Stokes.
Gill led India remarkably in the recently-concluded Anderson-Ten-dulkar Trophy against England as his young side emerged with a hard-fought 2-2 draw, a series in which the 25-year-old rewrote batting records.
Gill scored 754 runs in the series against England with four centuries, including a double ton at 75.40 to break legendary Sunil Gavaskar's record (732) for the highest run tally for an Indian captain in a five-Test series.
Gill's returns are now also the second-best behind Sir Donald Bradman (810 runs) in the all-time list for captains.
“Shubman Gill had a sensational month, amassing 567 runs at an impeccable average of 94.50 in three Tests during India’s gripping series in England,” the ICC wrote on its website.
