The electrifying T20 World Cup has come to a close, leaving fans buzzing with memories of exceptional performances. To celebrate these incredible displays, the ICC has unveiled the nominees for their Player of the Month awards for June, and it’s a list brimming with talent!
Headlining the nominees are two instrumental figures in India’s glorious World Cup victory – the mighty Jasprit Bumrah and their inspiring captain Rohit Sharma. They’re joined by Afghanistan’s rising star, the explosive Rahmanullah Gurbaz, who played a pivotal role in his team’s historic run.
Bumrah’s bowling throughout the tournament was a masterclass in pace and accuracy. His tally of 15 wickets at an exceptional average speaks volumes of his dominance. We all remember his match-winning spells against Pakistan and South Africa, reminding us why he deservedly claimed the Player of the Tournament title.
Gurbaz, Afghanistan’s young gun, took the World Cup by storm. His blistering half-centuries against Uganda and New Zealand showcased his fearless batting style. Even after a temporary dip in form, he roared back with crucial contributions against powerhouses like Australia and Bangladesh, propelling his team to the semi-finals. Remarkably, he finished the tournament as the leading run-scorer, and now has a chance to etch his name in history as the first Afghan to win the ICC Player of the Month award.
Leading India to their first World Cup title in over a decade, Rohit Sharma was a true captain, both inspiring and leading by example. His batting prowess shone throughout, making him India’s top scorer with a magnificent 257 runs. We can’t forget his crucial knocks against Ireland, Australia, and England, all instrumental in India’s undefeated run to glory.
The opportunity to pick the standout performer from this exceptional bunch now lies with cricket fans worldwide! The ICC will combine votes from a distinguished panel of cricket experts with those cast by fans on their website. So, get ready to show your appreciation – head over to the ICC website and vote for the player whose brilliance left you most impressed!
