ICC Men’s Player of the Month for February 2024 revealed
Cricket: Yashasvi Jaiswal beat competition from New Zealand veteran Kane Williamson and Sri Lanka opener Pathum Nissanka to win the ICC Men’s Player of the Month award for February 2024.
Few have made as strong a start to their international career as Jaiswal and the numbers prove that he could already be one of the best Test openers in the world.
Jaiswal is the leading run-getter in the ongoing cycle of the ICC World Test Championship and aiding his charge were two scintillating double hundreds that came in the month of February in back-to-back Test matches.
Jaiswal was in top form against England in the World Test Championship series at home, slamming 219 in Vizag in the first innings of the second Test and then going on to make a second innings double century in the next Test in Rajkot to help India take a lead in the series.
Jaiswal’s knocks helped India fight back from a loss in the first Test of the series.
The young Indian opener created several records in February, and equalled the long-standing Test record for most sixes in a Test innings (12) during his Rajkot knock.
