Man of the Series in T20 World Cup

The Player of the Series award is conferred on the most impactful player of the tournament. Global Icon Virat Kohli remains the only cricketer to bag the prestigious award two times in his career.

The 35-year-old first won the award in 2014 after he hammered 319 runs @ 106.33/129.15 in the 2014 edition.

The Indian superstar backed it up with another stupendous show in the 2016 event, where he scored 273 runs in 5 innings @ 136.50/146.77. Additionally, he also claimed a prized wicket in the all-important semi-final, which India eventually lost.

Former Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi was the first player to claim the prestigious award. The spin-bowling all-rounder finished as the joint second-leading wicket-taker (12) besides scoring rapidly with the bat.

The following edition saw former Lankan opener T Dilshan bag the award. The stylish opener smashed 317 runs in seven innings @ 52.83/144 to take his team to the finals.

The 2010 edition saw the ever-so-stylish Kevin Pietersen lead England to maiden World Cup glory, as the belligerent batter scored 248 impactful runs @ 62/137.7.

Former Aussie all-rounder Shane Watson showcased his true value in the 2012 event, as he racked up 248 runs and claimed 11 wickets to take his side to the semi-finals.

Nine years later, another Australia claimed the Player of the Series award at the T20 World Cup, but this time, the Men in Green and Gold were crowned world champions.

David Warner spearheaded Australia’s campaign in 2021, smashing 289 runs in 7 innings @ 48.16/146.70.

Another all-rounder made his mark in 2022, as England’s Sam Curran claimed the Player of the Series award for his impactful performances. The southpaw topped the wicket-taking chart from the Super-12 stage, claiming 13, including three in the final.
