Indian batter Shreyas Iyer has been nominated for the ICC Men's Player of the Month award for March 2025. This recognition comes on the heels of his outstanding performance during India's triumphant ICC Champions Trophy campaign. Iyer played a pivotal role in India's middle order, compiling 172 runs in three ODIs with an impressive average of 57.33 and a strike rate of 77.47. His contributions were instrumental in securing India's third Champions Trophy title.

Iyer's notable scores included a match-winning 79 against New Zealand in the group stage, followed by crucial knocks of 45 and 48 in the semi-final and final, respectively. His ability to anchor innings and build partnerships was vital in guiding India through challenging situations throughout the tournament.

Iyer is joined on the shortlist by New Zealand's Jacob Duffy and Rachin Ravindra. Duffy had a remarkable month, leading the wicket-takers in New Zealand's 4-1 T20I series win over Pakistan, while Ravindra showcased his all-round prowess, helping New Zealand reach the Champions Trophy final. The winner will be announced based on fan voting and expert panel decisions.
