#2 Viv Richards vs India, 1989-90
It was the 2nd semi-final of the 1989/90 MRF World Series between West Indies and India. West Indies won the match by eight wickets and Vivian Richards was chosen as the MoM. But it was not his flamboyance with the bat, but his fielding commitments that earned him the award that day.
After winning the toss, India opted to bat first and were bowled out for only 165 runs in 48.5 overs. Every Caribbean except Richards were able to pick a wicket and he did not even went to bat, yet he was chosen as the best player of the match.
The “Calypso King” pulled off three excellent catches and saved several crucial runs as his side restricted India to a modest total in the important encounter. Raman Lamba, Dilip Vengsarkar and Manoj Prabhakar gave away their wickets to Richard’s brilliance in the field.
