India’s Champions Trophy-winning captain Rohit Sharma labelled Shreyas Iyer a silent hero after the No 4 batter was the team’s top run-getter, playing crucial knocks in four of the five matches. Iyer became the bridge between the top-order and the middle and lower-order while bashing spin.
India’s Shreyas Iyer won the ICC Player of the Month award for March for his spectacular show in the Champions Trophy for the eventual winners in Dubai. Iyer, who was India’s leading run-getter in the tournament, amassed 172 runs in three matches in March, including a 79 off 98 in the final league stage clash against New Zealand.
“I’m truly honored to be named the ICC Men’s Player of the Month for March. This recognition is incredibly special, especially in a month where we lifted the ICC Champions Trophy — a moment I will cherish forever.
“Being able to contribute to India’s success on such a big stage is something every cricketer dreams of. I’m grateful to my teammates, coaches, and support staff for their unwavering support and belief.
