Team India’s star batsman Shubman Gill is in tremendous form at this time. The Indian team has reached the final of the Champions Trophy and Shubman Gill has also contributed a lot to it. Meanwhile, the final of the Champions Trophy will be played on March 9, when the teams of India and New Zealand will face each other.
But even before this, the ICC has nominated Shubman Gill for a big award. The winner will be announced next week after the title clash. However, Shubman Gill will face two big and amazing players of the world.
Shubman Gill nominated for ICC Player of the Month
The ICC has nominated Shubman Gill for the Player of the Month. Apart from him, two more players are included, including Steve Smith and Glenn Phillips. This nomination has been done for the excellent performance in the month of February.

Steve Smith and Glenn Phillips also got nominated
If we talk about the rest of the nominations, then the name of Steve Smith comes in it, who is captaining Australia in the Champions Trophy. Even though the Australian team was eliminated from the tournament after losing in the semi-finals of the Champions Trophy,
but Steve Smith has managed to get the nomination. Before the Champions Trophy, he scored two centuries during the series played against Sri Lanka. After this, the third and last player to be nominated is Glenn Phillips of New Zealand.
