Gill’s Lord’s Masterclass Seals Record Fourth ICC Men’s Player of the Month

A Record That Stands Alone

Indian captain Shubman Gill has achieved something no other cricketer has ever done — winning the ICC Men’s Player of the Month award four times. His latest win, for July 2025, comes after a brilliant run in the Test and ODI series against England, where he led from the front with both bat and mindset.

England Series Masterclass

Gill didn’t just score runs — he delivered when it mattered. In the series, he struck four Test centuries, starting with a composed 132 at Lord’s that steadied India, and peaking with a stunning 264 that left England searching for answers. These knocks showed control, intent, and the ability to turn matches India’s way.

Why This Record Matters

Winning Player of the Month once is tough. Doing it four times is a mark of rare consistency and class. For Gill, it’s also a statement that he has moved beyond being “India’s future” — he is India’s present.

The 25-year-old has grown into a leader who can anchor an innings, switch gears when needed, and stay calm in the biggest moments. It’s no surprise that fans and experts alike see him as a cornerstone of India’s cricketing future.

What’s Next for Gill

With more high-profile series on the horizon, Gill’s next challenge will be maintaining this level of performance. Given his hunger for runs and adaptability across formats, it wouldn’t be a surprise if he adds to this record soon.

For now, this milestone is a reminder: in a cricket world full of rising stars, Shubman Gill is already shining the brightest.
