ICC Names Shreyas Iyer ICC Player of the Month for March
Shreyas Iyer has been awarded the ICC Player of the Month award for March. His impressive play in the Champions Trophy was one of the key reasons behind receiving this award. Iyer topped the batting leaderboard with a whopping 243 runs in the competition.
Beating Tough Competitors
Iyer was picked ahead of New Zealand cricketers Jacob Duffy and Rachin Ravindra. Even in the face of strong competition, he won the award due to steady and significant performances in important matches.
Major Contributions in Crucial Matches
- Against New Zealand in the match during the league stage, Iyer scored 79 runs from 98 balls.
- In the semi-final against Australia, he contributed a significant 45 runs.
- In the last match, again against New Zealand, he added 48 runs which was crucial in India's victory.
Reaction of the Player and Other Awards
Shreyas was thankful after accepting the award:
"I am pleased to be declared as the ICC Player of the Month for March. I will never forget this award as a reward for my performance in the Champions Trophy."
India also commemorated another ICC victory earlier this year when Shubman Gill was crowned ICC Player of the Year in February.
