The 20-20 World Cup 2022 is currently underway and India have been performing admirably in the competition. With 3 wins in 4 matches, the Men in Blue are sitting at the top of the table in Group 2. There is no denying the fact that India have performed exceedingly well in the 20-20 World Cup competition since the inaugural edition.

The Men in Blue won the first edition of the tournament and played the final and the semi-final in the 2014 and 2016 editions respectively as well. In T20 cricket, a single player can change the course of the game and, thus, individual performances hold a lot of importance.

It’s no less than a dream for a player to win a Player of the match award in the 20-20 World Cup. Over the years, a lot of players have won the award for India but only a few have managed to dish out stellar performances consistently in the big-ticket event.

On that note, in this article, we will be talking about three players who have won the most Man of the Match awards in the World Cup:
