Twitter Reacts as Shubman Gill Set to Receive BCCI Cricketer of the Year Award

Shubman Gill, India's captain in Test and ODI format is set to be honoured once again. In the upcoming BCCI awards, the Indian skipper will be receiving the Cricketer of the Year award. For his brilliance in the Test format, Gill continues to add more awards in his cabinet.

The BCCI Naman Awards are all set to take place on 15 March, as some of the awards have already been confirmed. According to reports, the Indian skipper, Shubman Gill is also set to receive an award. He will be honoured with the BCCI Cricketer of the Year title in the ceremony.

Shubman Gill made some needful contributions to the Indian team in the 2024/25 cycle. He was also a part of the team which won the Champions Trophy and Asia Cup 2025. Along with that, the year 2025 saw Shubman Gill taking up the role of a captain in Test and ODI format.

While he had not been able to do well in ODI as a captain, his Test captaincy has earned praise. He also finished 2025 as the highest run scorer for India in the Test format. With the Indian skipper set to receive this award, fans on Twitter have reacted to the same.

It's BCCI's Choice

Shubman Gill from the Indian team for the T20 World Cup 2026. Pointing this out, a Twitter user said that the BCCI also dropped its cricketer of the year from the T20I side.

All Format Player

A genuine reason to explain award while the others didn't. He did play for the Indian team in all formats in 2025, which also brings a clear reason to put him as a contender.

Was this Question Needed?

When the that Shubman Gill will receive the BCCI Cricketer of the Year award, everyone knew that he would be taking the Men's award. But a Twitter user hilariously asked whether he is taking the award for Men's cricket or Women's cricket.
