1 of 1

Dubai. Indian opener Shubman Gill, fast bowler Mohammed Siraj and English batsman David Malan have been nominated for the ICC Men’s Player of the Month award for September 2023.

Shubman Gill is in great form these days and he scored a total of 480 ODI runs at an impressive average of 80 in September.

Shubman Gill scored two half-centuries and a century against Bangladesh. His form greatly benefited the team and India captured the Asia Cup. Then, Gill continued his form in the ODI series against Australia.

However, Shubhman Gill has not been included in the World Cup matches yet as he is suffering from dengue and is under the care of the medical team in Chennai.

A latest report suggests that he has been discharged from the hospital, but he will miss the match against Afghanistan and also the match against Pakistan on January 14.

Right-arm fast bowler Mohammed Siraj bowled some excellent spells during September, but his match-winning bowling of six wickets against Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup final was truly the most special and memorable.

Overall, Siraj took a total of 11 wickets in September at an average of just 17.27.

At the same time, English batsman David Malan performed brilliantly in September. He was named Player of the Series for his performances during England’s ODI series with New Zealand in the same month.

Malan played three matches during that series and recorded scores of 54, 96 and 127 to showcase his skills ahead of the World Cup in India.

The top-order batsman scored at a rapid pace, earning an overall strike rate of 105.72 during the New Zealand series.
