According to The Hindu, Shubman Gill and Shafali Verma have been honoured with the ICC Player of the Month awards, marking the fifth occasion that players from the same national board have captured both the men's and women's titles in a single month. Indian cricketers previously achieved this double on two other occasions.
The Times of India reports that Gill secured a record fifth ICC Player of the Month award after an ODI series against West Indies in which he scored 110 runs and hit a double century, while Verma earned her second monthly accolade by topping the Women's Asia Cup run‑scoring chart with 360 runs.
