The much-awaited announcement has finally arrived. The International Cricket Council (ICC), led by Jay Shah, has named Team India opener Sanju Samson as the Player of the Month for March for his heroics in the 2026 T20 World Cup tournament.
On April 14, through an official announcement, ICC informed that the opener has received the prestigious award. Sanju Samson continued his dominating form from the Super 8 stage of the tournament.
Coming out of a bad patch, the right-handed batter registered 97*, 89, and 89 runs against the West Indies, England, and New Zealand. In the final of the tournament, Samson’s second 89-run knock came against the Kiwis.
“Winning the ICC Player of the Month award is an incredible feeling, especially as it comes during what has been the most unforgettable phase of my cricketing journey. Playing a part in India’s triumph at the Men’s T20 World Cup was truly a dream realised, and it took some time for the magnitude of that moment to fully sink in,” Sanju Samson described the importance of the award which he has received because of his sole effort.
“This is an exciting era for Indian cricket, with immense talent across the board. I feel grateful for the opportunities I’ve received, and for the trust and support from my teammates and coaching staff that have allowed me to perform at my best,” he added.
