In the mid-1980s, the man-of-the-match award in cricket became a regular feature in Test matches.
However, there have been numerous occasions when a player from the losing side has received an award for his efforts.
Jacques Kallis holds the record for the most awards won in
Test matches, with 23 in 166 matches played, followed by Muttiah Muralitharan, who has 19 awards.
With 62 man of the match honors in 463 ODI matches, Sachin Tendulkar
holds the record for most man of the match awards.
Sanath Jayasuriya is second on the list with 48 one-day international man of the match honors.
Mohammad Nabi leads the Twenty20 Internationals with 13 accolades, followed by Virat Kohli with 12 awards.
