After the Champions Trophy 2025, India’s opener Shubman Gill has blossomed. The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Wednesday awarded Gill with the Player of the Month Award. He was elected the best male player because of his great performance in the month of February. Gill won the award by beating Australia’s Steve Smith and New Zealand’s Glenn Philips. He has become the ICC Player of the Month for the third time and created history. Actually, Gill has become the Indian cricketer with the highest player of the month prize. He has equaled Pakistan batsman Babar Azam in the overall list. Babur has also won the Male Player of the Month Award three times so far.<\/p>\nGill, 25, scored 406 runs in five ODIs last month at an average of 101.50 and a strike rate of 94.19. He played a key role in winning India 3\u20130 winning 3\u20130 winning two half-centuries and a century in the three-match ODI series against England in February. He scored 87 runs in the first ODI played in Nagpur, 60 in the second match played in Cuttack and 112 runs in the third ODI in Ahmedabad.
