Dubai: Pakistan batsman Babar Azam won the ICC Men’s Player of the Month for April 2021 for his consistent and outstanding performances across all formats in the recently concluded series against South Africa.
The Pakistan captain was chosen as the April winner by fans and the ICC voting academy.
Babar’s match-winning 82-ball 94 in the third ODI against South Africa helped him gain 13 rating points to reach a career-best 865 points. He also contributed 122 from 59 balls in Pakistan’s successful chase in the third match of a T20I series against the same opposition.
He became the first non-Indian cricketer to win the ICC Men’s Player of the Month award. Rishabh Pant, Ravi Ashwin, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar are the only cricketers to have won the award before Babar.
