Crowe was the player of the tournament in '92, and quite comfortably.

I was only listing the best players from the teams who won the tournament, as you would notice.

Did he actually win 4 MOM awards? That's insane considering he had to share the bowling with Donald and Pollock and usually batted around 7-8(sometimes 9 after Pollock and Boucher)
He scored so many critical 30+ not outs ha

Especially given how batting friendly that World Cup was. An average of 10 with an economy rate of 3.5 runs per over (comparable to his Test one!) is amazing no matter what the time, but in 2015 you shouldn't allowed to bowl that well.

Depends morgie. There was a big gap in the bowling sides in 2015. Aussie, NZ, SA and India of all countries were running around skittling sides and (barring the awesome semi-final) each other while the rest kept getting smashed. Didn't either Anderson or Broad average something silly with the ball (and then England and the media/fans blamed the batsmen)?

Ah, In that case '92 would be Miandad imo. Was the 2nd highest scorer after Crowe and averaged over 60.

Yuvraj literally contributed to each individual match in the 2011 WC bar the SA game, Bangladesh too I guess but he didn't get to bat in that game. I also feel Zaheer (although other bowlers might have better stats) was CRITICAL to India's win in 2011, didn't have one of those freak games where he takes 6-7 wkts for nothing and so his average doesn't stand out that much as comared to someone like Starc in 2015 but man every fricken time India needed a wicket Zaheer got it, and he generally took out the best players as well, so not much tailend freebies to boost stats.
Tendulkar 03 was ridiculously good as well.

Starc's this year is the best I reckon considering the high scores that were occurring. But Yuvraj 2011 was the best all-round performance I reckon. Just had an incredible purple patch.
Dhoni's WC final knock is stuff of legend, but part of me wishes Yuvi also had the chance to play another match winning knock.

It was pretty badass the way dhoni promoted himself though.

Kohli 2023. Performances vs all opponents, brilliant chasing knocks as well as brilliant knocks setting up scores. 100 in an SF, and 50+ in the final.
Batters' game, innit

I revise my answer to the Starc 2015 one. Kohli 2023 second

Kapil Dev was incredible in 1983 WC. 12 wickets at 20 and ER of 2.91. 303 runs at 60 and SR of 109.
