Caveats
- Appearances count matches played, not innings (a player could bat or bowl in each match).
- Maximum possible is 75 (all matches); 28 reflects strong consistency across all three seasons.
- MI New York players feature heavily in the top 5, reflecting their Finals appearances in 2023 and 2025.
- MLC 2026 will add further appearances.
