Most Man Of The Match Awards In IPL

Today’s post also includes a list of great players who, due to their cricket charisma, have earned the most Man of the Match Awards. 

Rohit Sharma- 19

The captain of the Mumbai Indians and the Indian cricket team, Rohit Sharma, is at the top of this list. In his IPL career, he has received 19 Man of the Match awards.

He is the most successful captain in IPL history, having led the Mumbai Indians to five championships. He appeared in 240 IPL matches, scoring 6187 runs in 234 innings. Sharma’s highest IPL score is 109, with one century and 42 half-centuries.

Following MS Dhoni, he is the most successful IPL skipper. Mumbai Indians won five Indian Premier League Season titles under Rohit Sharma’s leadership in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020.

MS Dhoni- 17

Chennai Super Kings captain and wicketkeeper MS Dhoni needs no introduction. Dhoni’s achievements range from helping India win the T20 World Cup in 2007, the 50-over World Cup in 2011, and topping the test rankings for 18 months beginning in December 2009.

Under his leadership, CSK won the IPL four times: in 2010, 2011, 2018, and 2021. The right-hand batsman has received 17 IPL Man of the Match accolades so far. One of the team’s best finishers, he has scored 5076 runs in his IPL career, with an average of 39.34 and a strike rate of 136. Dhoni also has a strong wicketkeeping record, having recorded 200 dismissals.

CSK is all set to put in another strong performance this season in order to reach the finals. It would be intriguing to see if Captain Cool could add additional Man of the Match accolades to his name.

Ravindra Jadeja-14

Jadeja began his career as a left-arm bowler, but he has progressed to the point where his batting and fielding abilities speak for him. Jadeja was chosen by the Rajasthan Royals for the inaugural season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2008, and he played a key role in Rajasthan’s final victory over the Chennai Super Kings.

After the Kochi Tuskers Kerala franchise was terminated in 2011, CSK purchased him in the 2012 season for a stunning 9.8 crore, and he became a consistent member of CSK from then on. Under the leadership of MS Dhoni, he looked confident and put up a good effort for the Super Kings.

In 2013, he delivered some strong match-winning blows to help the team clinch the league round as table-toppers. In the tournament’s 16th match, he scored 38 runs in 20 deliveries against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) to help his team catch everyone’s eye. After this spectacular knock, Dhoni took to Twitter to bestow the immensely recognised nickname ‘Sir’ on him.

Jadeja has appeared in 202 IPL matches, scoring 2429 runs and hitting two half-centuries. He has 127 wickets, a best bowling total of 5/16, and 14 Man of the Match awards.

With all of the names listed above, Dhoni, Jadeja, and Sharma still have the opportunity to add more awards to their names by performing admirably in the remaining IPL 2023 matches.
