Pakistan's Sam Ayub has won the Player of the Series award even once in his entire ODI career, which many cricketers in the world have won twice in his short career of 9 matches. He was also chosen Player of the Series for his strong performance in the ODI series against South Africa. Earlier, Sam Ayub had become the player of the series against Zimbabwe. Meaning, he has become Player of the Series in 2 out of 3 series of his ODI career. And, if he continues to grow like this then very soon he can break Sachin Tendulkar's world record.

Records in Sachin's name, Virat number two, Sam Ayub can leave behind

Sachin Tendulkar holds the record for becoming Player of the Series most number of times in ODI cricket. Sachin has become Player of the Series 15 times in 108 ODI series. The second name in this list is currently that of Virat Kohli, who has so far won Player of the Series 11 times in 72 ODI series. In such a situation, if Sam Ayub maintains the ratio of 2 players of the series in the 3 ODI series, then it is possible that he will come out fastest.

Sam Ayub needs 10 more Player of the Series awards to overtake Virat Kohli. To surpass Sachin's world record, he will have to win the Player of the Series award 14 more times.

First Zimbabwe then South Africa, became player of the series

Now let's come to Sam Ayub's performance in the series, due to which he got the Player of the Series award. Sam Ayub scored 235 runs with 2 centuries in 3 matches of the ODI series against South Africa. During this period his average was 78.30. Apart from showing his brilliance with the bat, Sam also took 2 wickets with the ball.
