The Texas Super Kings (TSK) are one of the six founding teams in Major League Cricket (MLC), which came into existence in 2023. TSK have enjoyed considerable success in the competition over the last two seasons, albeit with moments of frustration. The Super Kings finished third in the league standings in 2024 and second in 2023. Despite qualifying for the playoffs in both editions, TSK are yet to reach an MLC final.
Devon Conway and Faf du Plessis have led TSK’s batting lineup, topping the scoring charts in 2023 and 2024 respectively. Du Plessis also finished as the highest run-scorer in the league during his side's playoff run in 2024.

2023: A debut season to remember
In the first season of Major League Cricket, the Texas Super Kings entered the competition with high hopes and aspirations of becoming the inaugural champions. The side hit the ground running in the league stage, winning three of their five group games. After finishing second among the top four playoff spots, TSK stumbled—and then fell completely. In their first playoff match, they suffered a bitter defeat to the Seattle Orcas (SO), managing just 126 runs in 20 overs. SO chased it down comfortably with five overs to spare, pushing TSK into a must-win clash against MI New York. Eventual champions MI NY secured the victory, handing TSK heartbreak in their maiden season.
Despite falling short of the title, star batsman Devon Conway finished among the top five run-scorers in MLC 2023. Among bowlers, Mohammad Mohsin led the charge for his side with 9 wickets.
2024: Frustration again
If the 2023 season ended in heartbreak for TSK, the following edition brought similar disappointment. After a convincing league-stage performance, in which the men in yellow finished third, the playoffs once again proved to be a hurdle too high. TSK defeated inaugural champions MI New York in their first playoff match before falling to the might of the San Francisco Unicorns in the next game.
Who's that IPL player?Despite the late-stage exit, Faf du Plessis topped the league's run charts with 420 runs. Devon Conway maintained his consistency with the bat, finishing fifth on the list with 293 runs. His tally remains the highest overall in MLC history. Among bowlers, Noor Ahmad led the wicket tally for TSK with 9 and ranked ninth overall in the 2024 edition.
Both seasons have had their ups and downs, but have ended in frustration nonetheless.
