Shubman Gill Wins Record Fifth ICC Player Of The Month, Shafali Verma Takes Women’s Award
Shubman Gill has been named ICC Player of the Month for September 2026, marking a record fifth time he has won the award, while Shafali Verma took home the women’s honour for the same month.
Gill’s latest recognition extends his run as one of the most consistent performers in international cricket over the past year, with the award typically reflecting standout batting performances across formats during the month. Shafali Verma’s win highlights her continued rise as a key performer in Indian women’s cricket, adding to a strong recent run of form.
The awards, voted on by a combination of fan polls and expert panels, are seen as a marker of sustained excellence rather than a single big innings, making Gill’s fifth win especially notable as a reflection of his consistency at the top level of the game.
