5 Top cricketers with no "Man of the Match" awards in Tests

#4 Syed Kirmani

Syed Kirmani was part of the victorious 1983 World Cup Winning squad

Syed Kirmani was one of the most successful wicket-keepers for India, next only to Mahendra Singh Dhoni who has kept in 2 more Tests than the former. Kirmani was part of the era in Indian Cricket in which the country saw their cricketing heroes achieve memorable feats including the 1983 Cricket World Cup win and various overseas Test victories.

Not much was expected from wicket-keepers with the bat in those days, but he offered more than demanded. Being a useful batsman lower down the order, he played a key role during India’s 1983 World Cup triumph. This Mysore-born keeper had an average of 27.04, which hardly speaks about the stability he gave in the batting order and was overlooked as the “Man of the Match” in each of the 88 Test matches he played.
