Top 10 cricketers with most 'Man of the Match' awards in ODI cricket

#6 Sir Vivian Richards

Sir Viv Richards

Sir Viv Richards was arguably the most destructive ODI batsman of his generation. Richards was a free-flowing stroke maker who scored his runs at a breezy pace batted in an aggressive manner. Richards had all the shots in his armoury to make the best bowling attack look ordinary. He was the lynchpin of the formidable West Indies batting order in the 80s. In an era where most batsmen played with a defensive mindset and technically correct stroke play, Richards pioneered and successfully deployed an attacking dimension to his batting. He was a nightmare of most bowlers as he punished them severely if they slightly erred in line or length. The poster of West Indian cricket outshone many of his illustrious contemporaries to win many matches for his country.
