The third edition of the MLC, also known as MLC 2025, was played between June 12 and July 13 last year across three different venues. Despite finishing fourth on the league stage, the MI New York franchise won the MLC 2025 title by defeating table-toppers and tournament favorites Washington Freedom on the day of the final in Grand Prairie. Fast bowler Rushil Ugarkar bagged the ‘Player of the Match’ award for picking up the important wickets of Rachin Ravindra and Glenn Maxwell. Texas Super Kings and San Francisco Unicorns also made it to the playoffs by finishing second and third respectively on the six-team standings. However, both Super Kings and Unicorns lost to MI New York in the Challenger and the Eliminator respectively to get knocked out of the competition. Teams like the Seattle Orcas and the Los Angeles Knight Riders failed to make it to the top four. Also Read- Yash Dayal Abandoned By RCB For IPL 2026, Fans React
