Dubai: Fashionable Indian batsman Shreyas Iyer won the ICC Men’s Player of the Year Award in March after playing a brilliant role in India’s championship trophy victory on Tuesday.
Iyer won honors with 243 runs in the ODI event, ending the match with 243, overcoming New Zealand’s Jacob Duffy and Rachin Ravindra.
“I am honored to be appointed as the ICC Men’s Moon Player in March. This recognition is very special, especially in a month when we will always cherish the ICC Championship trophy.”
“It is a dream for every cricketer to be able to contribute to India’s success on such a large stage. I thank my teammates, coaches and support staff for their unwavering support and belief.
“Thank you so much to your fans for your energy and encouragement to take every step forward.”
So India won the award and Shubman Gill won the honor in February.
Iyer helped India improve in the middle with his masterful tricks of stroke and anchoring and the knack for building key partnerships, which plays a crucial role in guiding his team through a winning sport.
The 30-year-old scored 172 times in three games in March, averaging 57.33 and a strike rate of 77.47, including some spectacular knocks.
Iyer scored 79 points on 98 balls, including four and two sixes, winning the championship trophy against New Zealand, a inning that gave India 250 competitiveness in the first inning on a tricky court.
He scored 45 points in 62 goals to assist India in winning Australia in the semifinals and ended the match with 62 goals and 48 goals in clinical as India won the victory over New Zealand at the summit.
