ICC announced the names of players of the Month for October 2022.
The shortlists for the ICC Sportsperson of the Month Awards were announced today, revealing the best players who have excelled on the international stage throughout the month of October.
The line-up for the ICC Men’s Player of the Month features three superstars from the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in Australia. India’s all-rounder Virat Kohli followed up his heroics with the bat, most notably in the win over arch-rivals Pakistan.
South Africa’s David Miller has impressed in the lead-up to the tournament, and his fine form in Australia, including his side’s win over India, has been impressive to secure his place on the shortlist.
Zimbabwe’s Sikandar Raza completes the line-up and will be looking to reclaim the man-of-the-match award he won in August thanks to a series of man-of-the-match performances in the opening stages of the T20 World Cup.
ICC Women’s Players of the Month, Jemimah Rodrigues and Deepti Sharma have been named in the shortlist after their Asia Cup form for India. Rodriguez finished the tournament as the highest run-scorer while teammate Sharma was named the tournament’s hero and joint-leading wicket-taker.
Nida Dar is the final candidate to claim the award for October as her effortless contributions with bat and ball took Pakistan to the semi-finals of the Asia Women’s Cup.

Virat Kohli half-century and bowlers help RCB retain IPL title
Royal Challengers Bengaluru successfully defended their IPL crown with a composed five-wicket victory over Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2026 final, powered by a masterful unbeaten 75 from Virat Kohli and a disciplined bowling performance.
After being asked to bat first, Gujarat Titans struggled to build momentum against a relentless RCB attack and were restricted to 155 for 8 in their allotted 20 overs.
The Titans lost both openers early as Bhuvneshwar Kumar removed Sai Sudharsan and skipper Shubman Gill inside the first four overs. Nishant Sindhu briefly resisted with 20, but wickets fell at regular intervals as RCB tightened their grip on the contest.
Washington Sundar stood firm amid the collapse, producing a fighting unbeaten 50 off 37 deliveries that featured five boundaries. However, he received little support from the middle order. Rasikh Salam emerged as the pick of the bowlers with impressive figures of 3 for 27, while Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood claimed two wickets apiece. Krunal Pandya also chipped in with a crucial scalp as Gujarat finished below a par total.
In reply, RCB got off to a flying start through Venkatesh Iyer, who blasted 32 from just 16 balls. Although the defending champions lost a few quick wickets in the middle overs, Kohli anchored the chase with another vintage innings under pressure.
The veteran star struck nine fours and three sixes in his unbeaten 75 off 42 balls, controlling the innings with a blend of aggression and composure. Rajat Patidar contributed 15, while Tim David added a valuable 24 before falling with the target in sight.
Kohli then guided RCB home alongside wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma, who remained unbeaten on 11, as Bengaluru reached 161 for 5 in just 18 overs.
The victory secured back-to-back IPL titles for RCB and once again highlighted Kohli’s enduring class on the biggest stage.
Brief Scores:
Gujarat Titans 155/8 in 20 overs (Washington Sundar 50; Rasikh Salam 3/27, Bhuvneshwar Kumar 2/29, Josh Hazlewood 2/37) lost to Royal Challengers Bengaluru 161/5 in 18 overs (Virat Kohli 75, Venkatesh Iyer 32, Tim David 24; Rashid Khan 2/25) by five wickets.

India produced a dominant performance to defeat hosts Sri Lanka 78-56 and clinch the FIBA U-18 Asia Cup 2026 title at the Sugathadasa Indoor Stadium on Friday.
The Indian youngsters controlled the game from the opening whistle and displayed excellent teamwork, strong defence and accurate shooting to overpower the home side in front of a large crowd. Sri Lanka struggled to cope with India’s fast-paced attack and fell behind early in the contest.
India held a commanding 42-22 advantage at halftime after a superb first-half display. Their aggressive defence forced several Sri Lankan turnovers, while quick counterattacks allowed them to build a comfortable lead before the break.
Sri Lanka showed improved energy in the second half and attempted to reduce the deficit through determined play and better ball movement. However, India maintained composure and continued to dominate both offensively and defensively to keep the hosts at bay.
The Indian side impressed with their discipline and consistency throughout the tournament and deservedly lifted the championship trophy after remaining unbeaten.
