Which cricketer has won the most Player of the Month awards in history?
India's Shubman Gill made history by becoming the first male cricketer to win four ICC Player of the Month awards. His latest win came after an amazing performance in Test matches against England in July 2025, where he showed outstanding batting skills as India's Test captain.
Gill's remarkable achievement includes winning the award in February 2025, January 2023, and September 2023, before his latest July 2025 recognition. In the recent England series, he impressed everyone with consistent high scores, including a double century of 269 and another century of 103.
In the nets with Shubman Gill: How India Test captain prepares for a match
After receiving the award, Gill expressed his joy, saying: "It feels great to be named the ICC Player of the Month for July.
This time it holds a lot more significance since it has come for my performances during my first Test series as captain. The double ton in Birmingham is obviously something I will cherish forever and will be one of the highlights of my tour to England."
He further added: "The Test series against England was a learning experience for me as captain, and we had some outstanding performances from both sides, which I am sure players from both sides will remember for a long time.
