To win a Man of the Match award for a Cricketer is a matter of pride for him. Every cricketer always hopes to win the match for his side, which eventually increases his ranking as compared to other stars who might be warming the bench.
Generally, we have the mindset that if a player wins the Man of the Match award, he might have done something extraordinary on the field like smashing a Hundred or grabbing 5-wicket haul. You might feel that the player must have been a remarkable performer who may have played the entire match to conquer that award in favor of him. However, it is not valid for every competition as there are few players too who even won this award by batting for 12 balls or less than that. Their quick-firing knock with the bat also helped in winning the award.
This article features the list of those 5 Batsmen who played less than 12 deliveries but won the Man of the Match award for batting. There are some of the shocking names in this list which are as follows:
