Who was named Player of the Tournament in the 2010 IPL season?

Sachin Tendulkar was named Player of the Tournament in the 2010 IPL season.

Playing for Mumbai Indians, Tendulkar produced one of the finest individual campaigns of the third IPL season. He scored 618 runs, the highest total in the tournament, and led Mumbai to the top of the league-stage table with 10 wins from 14 matches. His consistency made him the central figure in Mumbai’s first run to an IPL final.

The season ran from 12 March to 25 April 2010. Tendulkar’s award is also listed as Player of the Series or Man of the Tournament in different IPL records, but these labels refer to the same season-wide honour. It should not be confused with Man of the Match, which is awarded for one specific game.

Mumbai Indians lost the final to Chennai Super Kings by 22 runs. Tendulkar still scored 48 in that match, while Suresh Raina was named the final’s Player of the Match. Kieron Pollard’s late 27 from 10 balls was another memorable contribution, but neither player won the tournament award.
