#2 Glenn McGrath (Australia) - 6 times

Glenn McGrath had been an integral part of Australia's 3 World Cup winning squads

Australia have been the most successful team in the history of the World Cup so far. The Australians have lifted the trophy five times in cricket history and Glenn McGrath has been a part of three of Australia’s World Cup winning squads, wrecking havoc with his top flight bowling skill.

Glenn McGrath holds the record of second highest number of MoM awards in World Cup history, having won the award on six occasions. He won his first award in 1999 when he grabbed his first five-wicket haul against West Indies and clinched his second MoM award against India in the next game.

McGrath carried his form into the 2003 World Cup and finished with figures of 7/15 from seven overs against Namibia, the best ever figures in the history of the World Cup till date.

In the 2007 World Cup, McGrath was in the best of form as he regularly picked up wickets that fetched him three MoM awards and at the end of the World Cup, the pacer finished with 26 wickets from 11 matches.
