Kicking off cricket in the United States of America has been a dream for many years and that dream was finally realised in 2023 when the first edition of the Major League Cricket (MLC) competition was played. And right from that first season, we saw big sixes, high scores, electrifying fielding, and much more.
While we’ve spoken about the top bowlers and batters in this league, we’re going to list down all Major League Cricket centuries on this page. Since it’s a global league with top T20 players signed from USA and around the world, you’ll find players from different countries being a part of the MLC centuries list. Keep reading for more details…
The first ever Major League Cricket century was scored by South Africa’s Heinrich Klaasen, proving why he’s known as one of the best cricketers in the world in this format. And right after him a few days later, we saw another highly sought T20 batter in Nicholas Pooran who bagged himself an MLC century, doing so in the all-important MLC 2023 final.

Post that, we saw a couple of more South African players (Faf du Plessis and Ryan Rickelton) getting MLC centuries and when we last updated this page, there were a total of four (4) centuries in this league. See below for our Major League Cricket all centuries list, last updated 21st July 2024, towards the end of the MLC 2024 season:
Major League Cricket centuries list
| Sr. | Name | Team | Date | Score |
| 1 | Heinrich Klaasen 🇿🇦 | Seattle Orcas | 25 Jul 2023 | 110(44)* |
| 2 | Nicholas Pooran  | MI New York | 30 Jul 2023 | 137(55)* |
| 3 | Faf du Plessis 🇿🇦 | Texas Super Kings | 8 Jul 2024 | 100(58) |
| 4 | Ryan Rickelton 🇿🇦 | Seattle Orcas | 9 Jul 2024 | 103(66)* |
| 5 | TBD | TBD | TBD | TBD |
That century from Nicholas Pooran remains the best in the MLC tournament’s history for multiple reasons. Not only was it scored at a 250 strike rate but it came in an important final when his team was down initially. It’s also the highest score in MLC’s short history so far, getting 137* in just 55 deliveries.
Till date, Seattle Orcas is the only franchise to have multiple entries in the MLC centuries list thanks to tons from Klaasen and Rickelton. A few teams are few to enter this list but considering there’s plenty of successful seasons to come over the years, we expect more entries in this list over the years.
🔥 RYAN RICKELTON 🔥
103*(66)
After getting a few 90’s in SA20 Ricks has finally gotten to that elusive T20 century and what a knock it was!

Three of the four centuries scored in this tournament have ended on a winning note while Faf’s centuries in MLC 2024 went in vain as the match was washed out due to rain after his century in the first innings.
