3 Overseas cricketers who’ve won the Man of the Match award in an IPL final
These players gave their best performance when it mattered the most to help their side win the title.
3. Shane Watson
There are many players who’ve benefitted from the advent of IPL and Shane Watson is certainly one of them. The brawny Australian has been part of all 13 seasons and has truly made a mark for himself in the world’s most famous T20 league.
There are a lot of things that Watson has done in the IPL and winning Man of the Match award in an IPL final is one of them. His heroic knock in the final against Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2018 is reckoned by many as one of the most awe-inspiring IPL innings ever orchestrated. He smashed the ball all around the park en route a famous ton at the Wankhede Stadium.
The Australian scored 117 off just 57 balls to register the highest ever individual score in an IPL final. His phenomenal deeds with the bat helped CSK complete a fairytale return to the competition as they lifted the IPL trophy for the third time.
