Mumbai: Suryakumar Yadav won the man of the match award in the match played between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans (MI vs GT) in IPL 2023. Surya played a stormy inning of 103 runs in 49 balls. But then there was a dispute. A group on social media said that the award should go to Rashid Khan. This Gujarat Titans player scored an unbeaten 79 off 32 balls and also took 4 wickets. Although his team lost the match by 27 runs, Rashid’s performance was appreciated by all.

Who decides the man of the match?
There are others who are demanding that Rashid Khan should be given the player of the match award instead of Suryakumar Yadav. One name in this is that of former Team India batsman Ace Badrinath. He wrote on Twitter – Rashid Khan was the man of the match for me. In this season, the player of the losing team has won the man of the match award several times.

But the biggest question is who decides who gets the player of the match? Cricket expert and former Indian opening batsman Akash Chopra has revealed this. According to Akash Chopra, a person chooses the winner of this award. He belongs to the English commentary team. That is, an English commentator is nominated for every match. After the match, they decide who will be the man of the match.

Rashid Khan reduced the margin of defeat
Rashid Khan’s innings may not win Gujarat Titans but it narrows the margin of defeat. He brought Gujarat’s score closer to Mumbai’s score with the help of an inning of 10 sixes. Even after the defeat, there was no adverse effect on the net run rate of the team. So this was Suryakumar Yadav’s first IPL century. With the help of his innings, the Mumbai team was able to cross the 200-run mark.
