Most Man-of-the-Match awards despite finishing on the losing side?

The leader in one-day internationals, Sachin Tendulkar has lifted the most Man-of-the-Match award on six occasions in ODIs despite ended up on the losing side. Pakistan Javed Miandad won five, while Chris Gayle, Inzamam-ul-Haq and the Flower brothers (Andy and Grant) won four. Chris Gayle is also one of eight players who have won the match award despite losing a Twenty20 international. Sachin Tendulkar has won three match awards in Tests his side lost, as have Wasim Akram and the Bangladeshi pair of Mohammad Ashraful and Shakib Al Hasan but it should be pointed out that such awards in Tests are a relatively recent innovation.
