ICC Men: India Test captain Shubman Gill is amongst the three nominees for ICC Men's Player of the Month award for July 2025. Apart from Gill, England skipper Ben Stokes and South Africa all-rounder Wiaan Mulder have been nominated for the monthly honour.

Gill capped a prolific month of run-scoring by making 567 runs at an average of 94.5 in three Tests during India’s tense 2-2 drawn series in England. His standout effort came at Edgbaston, where he struck 269 in the first innings and 161 in the second essay to power India to a record-breaking 336-run victory.

His match tally of 430 runs is second only to former England batter Graham Gooch’s 456. Gill followed it up with a gritty 103 scored in the second innings of the fourth Test at Old Trafford, which helped India to force a vital draw and that in turn set up their 2-2 series result.
