ICC Men’s Player of the Month nominees
Three players have been nominated for the prestigious award, given their exceptional performance throughout the month.
Indian star batter Virat Kohli
Coming out of a bleak patch, the 33-year-old superstar player only played four innings last month. However, he agitated three magical knocks. His 82 not out against arch-rival Pakistan in the ongoing T20 World Cup will forever be remembered.
Overall, Kohli accumulated 205 T20I runs in October month at a mind-boggling average of 205 and an even astonishing strike rate of 150.73.
South Africa’s David Miller
Throughout 2022, David Miller had been relishing an extraordinary form. Moreover, the left-hander agitated a total of 303 runs in the previous month with an outstanding average of 303, and a smashing strike rate of 146.37.
Sikandar Raza (Zimbabwe)
The 36-year-old Zimbabwe all-rounder delivered some stellar performances with the ball and bat in his hands. Raza carried his rich vein of form forward into the marquee tournament. He first scored 82 against Ireland, followed by a superb 40 off 23 against Scotland. Additionally, played a massive role with the ball against big teams like Pakistan and West Indies.
