WCL 2025 Most Runs: World Championship Of Legends Latest Top 10 List On July 23 After South Africa Beat India

Most Runs In WCL 2025: India Champions suffered a crushing 88-run defeat (DLS method) at the hands of South Africa Champions in their opening fixture of the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025.

It was a vintage performance from AB de Villiers, who lit up the contest with a blazing 63 off just 30 deliveries and followed it up with a brilliant effort in the field, guiding his team to a commanding win.

After being put in to bat by India captain Yuvraj Singh, the South African outfit put up a mammoth 208 for 6 in their allotted 20 overs. Yuvraj, unfortunately, sustained a niggle while fielding and was unable to bat during the run chase, adding to India's woes.

Despite fielding a side packed with experienced names like Shikhar Dhawan, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, and Yusuf Pathan, the Indian batting unit failed to deliver under pressure. They collapsed to 111 for 9 before play was halted due to a floodlight malfunction/rain potential, leading to the match being decided by the DLS method - firmly in favour of South Africa.

This emphatic win was South Africa Champions' second straight triumph in the tournament, cementing their place among the early frontrunners on the points table.

Here's the updated list of the top 10 run-scorers in WCL 2025 following the match.
