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

3rd Test - New Zealand v West Indies: Day 2
Lara was one of the greatest match winners

#4 Shane Warne (Australia)

Fifth Test - Australia v England: Day Two
Another Australian match winner on the list

The former Australian international is arguably the greatest leg-spinner of all-time. With 708 wickets in 145 Tests, Warne is the second highest wicket-taker in Test cricket.

He has single-handedly won a lot of games for Australia and has picked up ten 10-wicket hauls in his Test career. Shane Warne has won 17 ‘Man of the Match’ awards for Australia in Tests. Truly remarkable.


#3 Wasim Akram (Pakistan)

It is fair to say that this man has revolutionized the art of fast bowling with his extraordinary bowling abilities. The second highest wicket-taker in ODI history is not far behind in Test match cricket.

Akram has picked up 414 wickets in 104 Tests at an average of 23.62. He has demolished some of the best batting lineups in the world with his pace and swing. Akram finished his Test match career with 17 ‘Man of the Match’ awards.
