ICC Reveals the March Player of the Month Nominees

After a thrilling month of action in March, the International Cricket Council (ICC) today revealed the newest players vying for the ICC Men's and Women's Player of the Month titles. Along with being a significant player in India's trophy-winning effort at the Men's Champions Trophy 2025, two highlights of New Zealand's hectic month are on the ICC Men's Player of the Month shortlist.

The sole Indian player nominated by the ICC for player of the month is veteran hitter Shreyas Iyer. He demonstrated his batting prowess for India in the ICC Champions Trophy last month, and he had tremendous success. In three ODIs last month, the elegant hitter hammered 172 runs at an average of 57.33 and a strike rate of 77.47. He led India in runs scored and helped them win the tournament, demonstrating exceptional consistency. 

Shortlisted Names for March Player of the Month:

1. Jacob Duffy (NZ):

He received his first nomination for Player of the Month after a run of strong performances, including four-wicket hauls in Christchurch (four for 14) and Mount Maunganui (four for 20).

2. Shreyas Iyer (IND):

India was able to successfully chase down difficult totals under the lights in Dubai and won their third Champions Trophy thanks to crucial scores of 45 and 48 in the semi-final and final, which came before a match-winning 79 in the last group stage encounter against New Zealand.

3. Rachin Ravindra (NZ):

At an incredible average of 50.33, Rachin Ravindra amassed 151 runs. Additionally, he used his crafty left-arm off-spin to take three wickets at an incredible economy of 4.66. 

Therefore, it will be intriguing to watch who wins player of the month after all three players displayed admirable consistency in international cricket last month.
