Player Battles to Keep Your Eyes On

Faf du Plessis vs Anrich Nortje
An old-school battle between experience and raw pace. Faf will want to dominate early, but Nortje’s extra bounce and aggression could shake him up. One edge, one misjudgment, and it’s game on.

Devon Conway vs Akeal Hosein
Conway’s calm control meets Hosein’s crafty left-arm spin. Conway loves to rotate strike, but Hosein will look to slow him down and force the sweep shot. A slow-burning contest for the middle overs.

Glenn Phillips vs Zia-ul-Haq
Power vs precision. Phillips can end games in 15 balls, but Zia is a smart death-over operator who thrives under pressure. Expect yorkers, slower balls, and a fierce finish.

Stoinis vs Milne
Two Aussies, one defining battle. Stoinis brings brute strength to the crease, while Milne’s quick-arm pace can disrupt rhythm. It’s timing vs tactics at its best.

Moises Henriques vs Daniel Sams
Henriques brings stability and leadership, Sams brings energy and unpredictability. Whether with bat or ball, this clash could shape the middle and death overs.

RECORD ALERT: The TSK skipper now holds the record for scoring the most centuries in the MLC

Mon, 30 Jun 2025 10:50:50 GMT

The TSK skipper and former South African great Faf du Plessis is enjoying a phenomenal run in the ongoing edition of Major League Cricket. On the back of his enthralling exploits with the bat, the Texas Super Kings (TSK) have stormed their way to their third straight playoff by beating MI New York by 39 runs.

Faf played an instrumental role in propelling TSK to a commanding first-innings score of 223/4. The skipper led from the front and anchored the innings with a blazing 53-ball 103, which featured five fours and nine sixes. Following his scintillating century, Faf has unlocked a new milestone for himself. He has now become the batter with the most number of hundreds in the history of MLC. The South African southpaw now has three centuries under his belt.

Additionally, two of his three centuries have come in this season alone. He is followed by New Zealand's Finn Allen, who currently holds two centuries. He also holds the record for being the highest all-time run getter in the history of MLC with 737 runs across 15 innings.

History created by Faf du Plessis

With each passing year, Faf continues to get better in his game. Despite being 40 years old, age does not seem to catch up with him. The TSK skipper exhibits an incredible amount of athleticism while running between the wickets, while also at the same time, can use the long handle to good effect as well. Besides, he is also lauded for his tactical brilliance as his leadership has won TSK and even JSK (A Super Kings associate franchise) numerous games.
