Most player of the match awards for India in ODIs since 2022

The ODI format has been the safe haven of the Indian team over the years but the team has not achieved the desired results in the ICC events in the format. In Champions Trophy 2017, they reached the finals and were shockingly defeated by Pakistan after every pundit had termed them favourite before the game. Their defeat in the World Cup 2019 semifinal proved that the team lacks the gas in knockouts in the format. 

The team was in dire need of a 50-over glory and the ODI World Cup 2023 was the stage for it. After being almost indispensable in the bilateral series, they won every game in the tournament before succumbing to Australia in the final. Now the eyes will be on the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025 and they will rely on their key players to take matters into their own hands. These players have been game changers since 2022 for the team.

Most Player of the Match awards for India in ODIs since 2022:

5. Rohit Sharma

It is an undeniable factor that India captain Rohit Sharma is going through a rough patch with the bat. He is having trouble getting back into the groove in the red-ball cricket and this has become a concern for the Indian team ahead of the Champions Trophy 2025. But the man is known to step up on big occasions as evident in his 648 runs in World Cup 2019 with a whopping five centuries. 

At present, he is the player with the most number of centuries (7) in 50 over World Cups. Speaking of his performance since 2022, the 'Hitman' has won three Player of the Match (POTM) awards in 39 matches. Notably, in as many innings, he scored 1,663 runs at an average of 48.91 and the highest score of 131 runs, which came against Afghanistan in the ODI World Cup 2023 games played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, in Delhi.
