India pacer Jasprit Bumrah among nominees for ICC Player

The opening batsman Quinton de Kock of South Africa and the young bowler Rachin Ravindra of New Zealand are the other nominees for the October 2023 ICC Men’s Player of the Month Award, which goes to India pacer Jasprit Bumrah, who has been wreaking havoc in the ongoing ICC World Cup 2023.

“The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Tuesday revealed the latest group of international superstars in contention to win the ICC Player of the Month awards following an action-packed month of cricket in October,” ICC said in a statement.
India speedster Bumrah was at his destructive best with the ball in the opening stages of CWC23, claiming a slew of crucial wickets to fuel India’s unbeaten start to the competition. India’s frontline pacer was at the heart of their spectacular bowling displays as they opened their ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup campaign in a destructive fashion.
He began his campaign with two wickets for 35 runs against Australia in Chennai, before blitzing Afghanistan for four wickets for 39 runs in Delhi. This trend continued spectacularly, with the seamer collecting two for 19 in a Player of the Match performance against rivals Pakistan in Ahmedabad, including the coveted wicket of Mohammad Rizwan with a beautiful slower ball.
