Mahela Jayawardene managed to stay ahead of Kevin Pietersen and the Hussey brothers to become the most valuable player (MVP) in the ICC World Twenty20.
Mahela Jayawardene's scorching unbeaten innings of 98 at a strike rate of 175 against West Indies has ensured that he stays the most valuable player (MVP) so far in the ICC World Twenty20.
It is still early days, but here's the list of the top 50 players in the ICC World T20 so far, after the silly league phase to eliminate the unfortunate minnows.
After an indifferent start, Chennai Super Kings exceeded all expectations by winning the Indian Premier League, beating favourites Mumbai Indians in the final.

Jacques Kallis continues to be IPL3's most valuable player, and there's a good chance that he might end up becoming IPL3's MVP, now that RCB seem assured of the semi-final berth.
A look at the expensive players (paid $450,000 or more) providing the best value (less than $2000 per run) at the IPL, and 'expensive' players who have failed to provide value.
Jacques Kallis tops the batting list because he has scored a lot of runs, although his strike rate is below our average of 133, while Murali Vijay edges past Tendulkar because of his phenomenal strike rate of 175.
We're approximately at the halfway mark of IPL3 and it is a good time to ask which players are doing well and which players aren't.
Yusuf Pathan has overtaken Jacques Kallis to become the most valuable player of IPL3 after the first 25 matches (i.e., as on the morning of March 29) with a MVPI of 447.
Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is still India's MVP of the current 2009-10 season, but Tendulkar has come dangerously close. The master batsman would almost certainly have topped if he had played as many matches as Dhoni.
Kumar Sangakkara edged out Virat Kohli to take the top place in the just-concluded tri-series.
Sri Lanka's Tillakaratne Dilshan ended his most successful year in international cricket by becoming the most valuable player (MVP) in the recently-concluded India Sri Lanka ODI series, with his fellow-opener Upul Tharanga just behind him.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni is so far the most valuable player (MVP) in the ongoing India-Australia seven-match One-Day International series, with Michael Hussey just behind him.
What a remarkable comeback by Ashish Nehra. After being almost forgotten, the left-arm pacer now leads India's Most Valuable Player (MVP) rankings in One-Day Internationals this season.
Even though Yuvraj Singh didn't seem to be quite himself -- at least till that innings in the Compaq Cup tri-series final -- he is still India's most valuable ODI player in the ongoing 2009-10 season. If Yuvraj doesn't bat well, he ends up bowling rather well. So this way or that he always brings great value.
Although the Indian captain M S Dhoni performs well in all three forms of cricket, he seems best equipped to play ODI cricket. In ODI cricket, a strike rate just below 100 which is the rate Dhoni is now most comfortable with is considered excellent. Also the 50 overs allow the calm captain sufficient leverage to swing close matches his team's way.
It's not clear if the India-New Zealand One-Day International series offered a man of the series award. But there can be no doubt that the overwhelming favourite for the award was Virender Sehwag. Sehwag plundered almost 300 runs, at a staggering strike rate of 150, to be right at the top of the list of the most valuable players (MVP) of the series.
