Since the 2010 era, Pakistan’s cricket has seen a decline in match-winners. In the past, the team had players who could take control of a game with their individual brilliance. However, now, we rarely see such performances (individually or collectively). Babar Azam, despite his consistency, hasn’t come close to the legacy of Pakistan's cricket greats who could win matches on their own. Playing weaker oppositions and the rise of meaningless T20's has inflated his stats. The absence of these match-winning figures has become a significant concern for the team.

This is one of the worst ways to judge a player. It has no statistical backing and the award is given on the basis of bias of the commentators and journalists.

Afridi was not really a good player, but the reason why he has soo many motms is because he played 500+ matches aswell

Reminds me of the anay do series, where Pakistan won the match but the Indians gave the MOTM to an Indian player
