The biggest T20 carnival, Indian Premier League (IPL), is just a week away, and the fans are already gearing up for the high-octane action to unfold. Once again, the tournament will have some of the established cricketers from around the world. Among them, certain stars will be looking to build on their reputation.

And what better way to improve your stature in the league than putting up match-winning performances. In the last 12 seasons, there have been various players who have given their best with bat and ball. Then, at the end of the game, some of these players eventually become Player of the Match.

Till now, 129 players have won these awards in the history of the league. In that also many players have got it multiple times. But there a select few who have won it consistently. For them to win a Man of the Match award is a good habit, and they have continued it for a long time.

5 players with the most Man of theMatch awards in IPL history: &#8211;

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-326397" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Chris-Gayle.jpg" alt="Chris Gayle" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-326397" class="wp-caption-text">Chris Gayle.

Why bother running, when you can score runs by just hitting boundaries. It might sound eccentric, but it is the batting style followed by <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/i-had-enough-now-chris-gayle-threatens-to-block-yuzvendra-chahals-instagram-account/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Chris Gayle</strong></a>. That&#8217;s why he is a tailor-made cricketer for the T20 format. The Caribbean star has been the greatest match-winner in this version of the game.

It can be easily verified from his IPL record. Gayle has won the most number of Man of the Match awards in the history of the tournament, 21 to be exact. The Universe Boss has won them in 125 outings. It means he plays a match-winning knock every six games, and that&#8217;s some serious achievement.

Going more in-depth, it can be seen that he has smoked six tons and 11 half-centuries on such occasions. There have also been four instances when he got the award for scoring less than 50. Interestingly, in 2011 alone, he received six of them, and his performances powered RCB to the final. In all, Gayle has done everything possible to win an IPL trophy, but luck has never been on his side.

Another Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) star and you still wonder why can&#8217;t they win championships. Keeping that topic for another day, let&#8217;s see the legend of AB de Villiers in IPL. The South African has a chapter for himself when we compile the chronicles of IPL. His ingenious batting skills have made him a bonafide superstar of this league.

His numbers are also pointing in the same direction. He has collected 20 Player of the Match trophies to the present day, and it has taken him only 142 innings to achieve the feat. To be precise, on average, he takes mere seven games to produce an ABD batting masterclass for the Bangalore fans.

Analysing more details, De Villiers has struck three centuries and 16 fifties in such situations. The lowest score for which he has been rewarded is 28, which is quite unique. He got 4 of them in the year 2016, where he guided RCB to the finals for the 3rd time in their history. As usual, even after all these heroics, a prestigious championship has always eluded him.

One of the best batsmen of this generation, David Warner has done some extraordinary things in the IPL. He has won an IPL title while leading the charges of the Sunrisers Hyderabad. The southpaw has also been the most consistent batsman of the league in its 12-year history. Apart from that, Warner holds a valuable record.

It is the number of Man of the Match awards received by him. In his 126 appearances, he has been presented with 17 of them. It implies that Warner gets one such award every seven matches. The number also indicates that he has been carrying the batting unit of the Hyderabad franchise for some now.

Looking further it is found that a total of 14 half-centuries and three centuries have come in those circumstances. He is the only batsman to get 13 of his 17 awards in home games. For him, 2015 proved to be the most fruitful as he got four of them in that year, but it didn&#8217;t help the franchise qualify for the playoffs.

No captain in IPL has won as many games as <a href="https://www.facebook.com/crictracker/photos/a.601832999847425/3871701572860535" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>MS Dhoni</strong></a> for his team. He has been the biggest match-winner for the Chennai Super Kings. His finishing skills have time and again helped the franchise win important games. In the process, Thala has also made his way to an elite list.

He is the Indian player who has been declared Player of the Match for maximum times. In 170 outings, Dhoni has gotten the award 17 times. In simple terms, he earns one MOM award in every 10 games. It is low compared to the top three players in this list, but he has won most of them while batting down the order.

Digging more, it is revealed that he has crunched 13 half-centuries en route to his record. Besides, in 14 of those 17 innings, he remained unbeaten. Dhoni is the only batsman to win all of them as the captain of the side. He got three apiece in 2013 and 2019, but in both the years, the team lost to Mumbai Indians in the finals.

With five IPL titles in his profile, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/if-rohit-sharma-opens-for-mumbai-indians-he-can-score-around-500-runs-in-ipl-2020-aakash-chopra/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Rohit Sharma</strong></a> is indeed a special player in this league. Throughout the 12 seasons, he has tasted great success in one or another way. Especially, his batting has taken the centre stage on quite a few occasions. And it has helped him in achieving several personal milestones.

One of them is his record number of getting Man of the Match awards. In his 183 innings, Hitman has won it on 17 instances. It means he puts up a game-changing performance in every 11 games. It might not be the best, but it is definitely enough to win championships.

Taking a closer look, it can be noted that Rohit has struck a century and 14 fifties in those games. One of the MOM awards also came with his bowling performance when he took a hat-trick in the 2009 season. He got four of them in 2016, but unfortunately, he couldn&#8217;t take his team to the final four.
