September 2025 was a memorable month for Indian cricket, as Team India clinched the Asia Cup 2025 by defeating Pakistan in all their encounters. Reflecting the team's strong performances, two Indian players, explosive opener Abhishek Sharma and star spinner Kuldeep Yadav, have been nominated by the ICC for the Men’s Player of the Month award for September 2025 alongside Zimbabwean batsman Brian Bennett.

Abhishek Sharma impressed everyone by scoring 314 runs in seven T20 Internationals at an extraordinary strike rate of over 200, including three half-centuries. His stellar batting earned him the Player of the Tournament award as India lifted the Asia Cup. He also achieved the highest ever batting rating in ICC Men’s T20 Internationals with 931 points.

Kuldeep Yadav dominated with the ball, claiming 17 wickets during the Asia Cup at an economy rate of 6.27. He consistently took at least one wicket every match, including two four-wicket hauls, making him instrumental in India’s success.

Zimbabwe’s Brian Bennett also earned his nomination by scoring 497 runs in nine T20Is with an average of 55.22 and a striking rate of 165.66, highlighted by three consecutive high scores in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Africa Finals, helping Zimbabwe qualify for the 2026 T20 World Cup.

The winner will be decided soon by the ICC, with fans eagerly anticipating which standout performer will claim the honor.
