Caveats
- 934 runs vs N Pooran's 928 is a very close contest — separated by just 6 runs across three seasons.
- Du Plessis has the higher SR (163.6 vs 145.0) despite playing fewer matches; Pooran has more innings and a higher average.
- MLC 2026 will update the Orange Cap — either player could move ahead.
