Explanation & Context
Sachin Tendulkar is the only player to have won the 'Player of the Tournament' award twice, in 2003 and unofficially in 1996 (as the award wasn't formally given until 2003, but he was widely considered the best player). However, officially, only the 2003 award is attributed to him. This question requires clarification as officially only one instance exists. Revising to a more concrete fact. The officially recognized 'Player of the Tournament' winner for the 2003 Cricket World Cup was Sachin Tendulkar.
