Bumrah is nominated thanks to him picking eight wickets in a supreme bowling display in India\u2019s convincing 295-run victory over Australia in the first Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Perth, where he also doubled up as the stand-in captain in Rohit Sharma\u2019s absence.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He aims to win his second ICC Men\u2019s Player of the Month award; his mesmerising spell of 5-30 in a memorable first innings display ensured India took a 46-run lead. Bumrah then returned to pick 3-42 in the second innings to ensure an unforgettable win for India, and keep their hopes alive of a spot in next year\u2019s ICC World Test Championship Final, to be held at Lord\u2019s.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
On the other hand, Jansen is in contention to be the first South African to win the award since Keshav Maharaj in April 2022, thanks to success for the Proteas in T20Is and Tests. Apart from picking wickets, Jansen caught everyone\u2019s eye by smashing a whirlwind 54 off just 17 balls, though it wasn\u2019t enough for South Africa to avoid a narrow defeat in Centurion.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Better outcomes were forthcoming on Jansen\u2019s return to the Test arena, where he ran through a touring Sri Lanka line-up to take 11 wickets in the match, including 7-13 in the first innings \u2013 his best figures in Tests coming in just 41 deliveries, to boost South Africa\u2019s chances of entering the World Test Championship Final.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Rauf, meanwhile, was back to being at his fearsome best while playing six ODIs and three T20Is for Pakistan. He began his trip to Australia with a fiery three-wicket haul in Melbourne, and hit a high note by picking a crucial five-wicket haul to level the series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In the series decider at Perth, Rauf picked two more scalps to finish the series as the top wicket-taker with 10 scalps at an economy rate of just five, and help Pakistan grab a 2-1 series win.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
