While MI New York's Trent Boult topped the wicket charts with 22 wickets in the 2023 edition, the American Saurabh Netravalkar shone among bowlers with an impressive total of 15 last year.

Australian Star Mitchell Owen Nears Historic T20 Milestone In MLC 2025
Australian all-rounder Mitchell Owen is on the verge of a world record, as with one more 'Player of the Match' award during the ongoing Major League Cricket (MLC), he will join Bangladesh legend Shakib al Hasan as the player with the most successive POTM honours in T20 cricket. While representing Washington Freedom in the ongoing MLC tournament, he secured his fourth consecutive POTM against San Francisco Unicorns, taking a brilliant 5/17 to reduce the opponents to 157/9 in their 20 overs in pursuit of 170 runs. However, he scored a first-ball duck with the bat. One more will help him join Shakib as the player with the joint-most-successive POTMs in T20s, with a total of five, as per Wisden. Previously, against the Los Angeles Knight Riders, he scored a quickfire 43 in 16 balls (three fours and four sixes) to successfully chase down 214 runs and had bowling figures of 0/47. Before this, against the Texas Super Kings, he first took 3/33 with the ball, following it with a 52-ball 89 (eight fours and five sixes) to chase down a massive 221 runs. Against MI New York, he took 1/29 and scored a fiery 60 in 26 balls, with five fours and five sixes to chase down 189 runs for his side to earn the POTM honours. In the ongoing MLC, Owen is the second-highest run-getter, with 288 runs in seven matches at an average of 41.14 and a strike rate of 210.21, with two fifties. He is also the second-highest wicket-taker with 14 scalps at an average of 14.35. Owen rose to fame with a century for Hobart Hurricanes (108 in 42 balls with six fours and 11 sixes) to win them their first-ever Big Bash League (BBL) title. He is now the eighth man to win POTM in four consecutive T20 matches.

'The King Who Gave...': Riyan Parag's Instagram Story For Virat Kohli Goes Viral
Last Updated: Riyan Parag's heartfelt Instagram story about his inspiration Virat Kohli has gone viral. Star India batter Riyan Parag's Instagram story has gone viral on social media on Sunday, June 29, in which he posted a heartfelt message for his 'inspiration' Virat Kohli, during a Q&A session with his fans. Riyan was last seen in action during IPL 2025 for the Rajasthan Royals. Riyan made the lovely statement during an Instagram Q&A, where he was asked by a fan who inspired him the most in his career. Riyan, who made history in August by becoming the first male cricketer from Assam to debut for India in ODIs, received his cap from Kohli before the second ODI against Sri Lanka in Colombo. 'The King who gave me my India cap," Riyan answered the question, with an image of Kohli putting the cap on his head. That moment, as Riyan revealed, was more than formality; it was everything he wanted to be as a cricketer. 'Riyan, firstly, congratulations on getting to play your first game for India. In today's cricket, we all know apart from performances, people who are responsible for you guys getting selected were watching you and they have seen something special in you," Kohli said while handing him the cap. advetisement 'You have that ability to be a match-winner for India. I know you have that belief, I have known you for a while now, and we all have that belief in you. No better time to step in today, 0-1 down, to start your international career," Kohli added. A U19 World Cup winner seven years ago, Riyan bagged his first Indian Premier League gig when RR signed ahead of IPL 2019 for Rs 20 lakh. That season, he became the youngest Indian Premier League half-centurion at 17 years when he smacked a 49-ball 50 against the Delhi Capitals. Ahead of IPL 2022, RR bought Riyan back for Rs 3.8 crore, but he managed only 183 runs in 14 innings at a dismal average of 16.64. In the 2023-24 domestic season, Riyan seemed to turn a corner. He smacked 510 runs at a strike rate of 182.79 in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy for Assam. Riyan was the highest six-hitter at the 50-over Deodhar Trophy as well, the inter-zonal event.

MLC 2025: Texas vs New York playing 11, live toss time, streaming
As the 2025 Major League Cricket season heads into a crucial phase, MI New York face Texas Super Kings in Match 21 on June 30, with both teams chasing vastly different objectives. MI New York, languishing near the bottom with just one win in six games, are on the brink of elimination. Captain Nicholas Pooran, visibly frustrated after their recent failed defence of 237, has called out his bowlers for poor execution and lack of discipline. For the 2023 champions, only a win can keep slim playoff hopes alive. Meanwhile, Texas Super Kings have their destiny in their own hands. Sitting just behind the top two, a win in Dallas would seal their playoff qualification and bring them level on points with second-placed Washington Freedom. With consistent performances and a balanced squad, Super Kings will be eager to exploit MI NY's vulnerabilities and push for a spot in the Qualifier 1 race.
