World Cup
5 cricketers who were not entitled
to win the World Cup Man of the Tournament award
It is always special for any player to win the World Cup for
his country, no matter what the sport is. In addition to honoring the winners
of the tournament, the best player of the game is also honored. It is no
different in cricket as the ICC also honors the Player of the Tournament, New players in PSL 2018 the
best player of the World Cup.
Although Cricket World Cup was first played in 1975, it was
first awarded to any player in 1992 by this award. Since then, at least one
player has been awarded this award in the ICC World Cup and World Twenty20.
Often the player is from the winning team, but on some occasions, even the team
who failed to win the tournament.
The reason for this award is to reward a player's individual
performance throughout the tournament. Although qualified players on this
occasion won the award, but many opportunities, some ineligible names also won
the award.
Here we are looking at names that, despite being ineligible,
won this award, as well as those names that were worthy of winning it. No one
has imagined that winning the World Cup in Pakistan under the 1992 World Cup,
that too when he was on the verge of being out in the tournament soon. He won
his first ICC championship by defeating England by 22 runs in the final.
The architect of winning for Pakistan was Wasim Akram, the
left-arm fast bowler, who saw a different player throughout the tournament. He
troubled every single batsman he had bowled in the tournament.
The fast bowler took 18 wickets at an average of 18.77 in 10
matches, with an economy of 3.7 and whenever he needed the team, he made
important contributions to his team. However, they were overlooked for the
Player of the Tournament because Kiwi captain Martin Crowe was given the award
for 456 runs in his 9 matches at an average of 114.
Crowe's achievement in the World Cup was unprecedented, but
Wasim had a major impact on the tournament, because he had decided to travel to
his team for the World Cup title victory.
