If this is how they evaluate, then in every match, the one performance which won the match for the team should have picked up the award. And that performance can come at the beginning, middle or end.

Raji, end result counts. Because of his excellent last over, KKR won the match. That turned the tables and kept the SRH in shock!

Taking wickets in the first few overs will definitely contribute to the end result, but controlling your nerves and bowling the death overs while curtailing the runs' flow, will fetch the much-needed result, that is why, they are calling it as MOTM/ POTM.

Madhu I have no issues with choosing a PoTM as long as the process is consistent through out the tournament. Are they giving PoTM for holding the nerves or overall performance or for a century or a hat-trick? It was so random.

Had they been consistent, they should have also given PoTM award to Ishant Sharma in the match between DC and GT. He held his nerve, took the dangerous looking Tewatia's wicket and gave only 6 runs in the 20th over and made his team win the by 5 runs. He could have gotten two wickets had his teammate not dropped Rashid. Or Aman for making 51 runs while 4 of the top order batsmen got out for less than 20 runs within the power play. No one thought they will survive for 20 overs, but they did. They both held their nerves too. But organisers gave it to Shami for taking 4 wickets for 7 runs in 3 overs in the powerplay. His heroics did not fetch his team a win, but Ishant's and Aman's did.

So, you see some times it is Power play, some times it is death overs, some times it is from the winning team and sometimes it is from the losing team. Sorry I am not convinced with the process.

Cheers..

Did he save lot of runs while fielding?
It looks more like a delayed reaction for his performance from an earlier match.
Cheers..

Lol. You clearly didn't watch the game. Or maybe you have the impression that only milestone achievers win the award. Not everyone can get free player of the match for 3 regulation catches. It's called player of the match for a reason. The player who changes the game. In an era where there are 29 runs scored in a single over of a chase Varun gave 8 (YES EIGHT) runs in 3 overs. If that's not a match winning performance, everybody has been playing and watching the wrong game since 2003 (Invention of T20). P. S. CSK will actually kill to have someone like him and he is a local Chennai boy. Also MI and PBKS. Ask these teams the value of a death bowler. Really hope KKR have to give him up in some mega auction and CSK laps him up.

@Bold : WHAT? That's one of the most confusing logic have I read anywhere regarding to cricket. Why would someone win an award for another match?

That's actually what player of the match is for. Someone who wins the game. But cricket is also a team game with individual brilliant performances.

As for constitency I have mentioned few days ago that they look for a bowler to award and if they dont then give it to others (Barring that one game where Vyshak was robbed of a player of match in debut because someone took 3 catches after nearly losing the game in batting, that was an exception not a norm, fielding performances hardly win awards ).

Same explanation here too. They looks for a bowler to award. Who was the best bowler in that game? Shami. He did his job perfectly, its just that GT batters screwed it up. As for Ishant he bowled ONE OVER. Varun bowled THREE ( That's 75 percent of what's allowed).

I also expected Aman to win that award. But what shami did was individual brilliance.

Can give another example. CT 2013 Final. Ishant got smashed badly in first few overs. Ms gave him overs again ans he got the 2 main players and didn't bowl again. Overall his match performance was garbage. But that one over changed it. Player of the match was Jadeja who scored 33 and took 2 wickets for very less runs.
