The India top-order star took home the award, beating competition from Australia’s Steve Smith and New Zealand’s Glenn Phillips.
He began with a confident 87 in Nagpur and followed it up with a 60 in Cuttack. He finished in a grand style, smashing a hundred in Ahmedabad. His 112 came from merely 102 balls and included 14 fours and three sixes.
Continuing his golden run into the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, Gill hit an unbeaten 101 to lead India’s chase in their tournament opener against Bangladesh in Dubai. He followed it up with a resolute 46 against Pakistan.
India won both of their opening encounters in the Champions Trophy on the back of these knocks.
This is the third ICC Men’s Player of the Month honour for Gill, who had previously won twice in 2023 – January and September.
