The tournament is slowly gaining popularity in the USA and internationally. The tournament consists of some class performers. In this piece, we discuss 3 Texas Super Kings players who were earlier part of the Chennai Super Kings team in the IPL. we discuss these players in detail: 

1.Faf Du Plessis

Faf Du Plessis played a big role for Chennai Super Kings, helping the team win IPL trophies in 2018 & 2021, and now the former South African captain is the skipper of TSK. The former right-handed batter could score just 46 runs in 7 innings during the first MLC season, but during the 2024 season, he scored 420 runs in 8 innings with an average of 52.50 and a strike rate of 171.42.

He represented CSK in 7 seasons (2012, 2014, 2015, 2018, 2019, 2020/21 & 2021, scoring 398, 303, 380, 162, 396, 449 & 663 runs respectively) for CSK. During the 2021 season, he scored 633 runs with an average of 45.21 and a strike rate of 138.20.

2.Adam Milne

Milne's debut for TSK against MI New York was quite impressive during the first game of the 2025 MLC season, where he claimed 3/22 on the 14th of June 2025 helping his team to win by 3 runs.

The New Zealand pacer played for RCB in the IPL during the 2016 & 2017 seasons while he played for Mumbai Indians in 2021 and CSK in 2022, when he could play just 1 game against KKR. Milne's career has been affected by injuries, due to which he could play limited IPL games.
