Shubman Gill was named ICC Men's Player of the Month for January after a series of impressive innings in the ODI format. Gill was a prolific source of runs throughout the month, scoring big against both Sri Lanka and New Zealand. He had 567 runs in January, which included three century-plus scores. His stand-out performance was a stunning double-hundred in the victory over New Zealand in the series opener in Hyderabad. He beat New Zealand opener Devon Conway and compatriot Mohammed Siraj in the global vote to win his first ICC Men's Player-of-the-Month award, becoming the first Indian winner since Virat Kohli in October 2022.

Grace Scrivens, the England U-19 skipper, became the youngest player to be named for the women's ICC Player of the Month award. She was named after her all-round brilliance in the inaugural ICC U-19 Women's T20 World Cup, where she captained her side in seven outings, scoring 293 runs at an average of 41.85 and taking nine valuable wickets throughout the tournament at a remarkable average of 7.11. She emerged victorious ahead of fellow nominees Phoebe Litchfield and Beth Mooney of Australia. The awards were decided in a global vote conducted among media representatives, ICC Hall of Famers, former international players, and fans registered at the ICC website.

In conclusion, Shubman Gill and Grace Scrivens have both had a remarkable January, and their efforts have been recognized by the ICC. The awards are a testament to their hard work, talent, and determination, and they will both be looking to continue their impressive form as they move forward in their careers.
