Maxwell did nothing to win that award. Scored a freak 200 dead rubber. Scored a 100 in a match in the backend beating a dead horse. Kohli, Rohi, Shami deserve it more.

The Kohli mania has secured this title for himself. His knock in Semis has made him all deserving of this title. Just one more superb knock in the finals and Kohli will have it 100 %.
It’s between 5 players and this is what they all require to win it :-
Shami - Nothing. Statistically he has already have the best World Cup even if he goes for 100/0 in the final. Not giving him the award would just be a subjective bias
Kohli: 50+
Sharma - A 30+ score at SR 180+ and a Bharatiya win
Warner - 150 runs and an Aussie win
Zampa - 5 wickets hail and an Aussie win
Maxwel - 180* runs and an Aussie win
Only Shami and Kohli so far qualify to win even if Bharat loses
Hitman has a chance to win if Bharat wins
For any Aussie to win, there must be an Australian win otherwise Bharatiya players have locked this award
If Australia win then player of series will be given to either Shami or Kohli.
If India win and there is a special performance from Maxi or Zampa then they may get award otherwise there is a chance that player of series may still be given to either Kohli or Shami.
It has to be Mohammad Shami or to less extent Rohit Sharma..
Though Kohli scored more runs, Rohit's were more valuable.
Bumrah, dekock and Jadeja were also contenders 2-3 matches ago, but now it has to be Shami or Rohit.
