Darling Krishna is, no doubt, the trailblazer of the Celebrity Cricket League 2025, with a little under 300 runs to his credit in 3 matches so far, including an unbeaten century. The actor has one more group stage match pending and will be on the squad playing the semi-final too, so that’s at least 4 more innings in which he can add to that tally. In 2024 too, Krishna was leading the top batsmen list in the initial stages of the tournament, but then had a run of bad luck and eventually finished in third position, behind Jammy Banerjee and Rahul Mazumdar, both from the defending champions, Bengal Tigers’ team.

Last year, after witnessing Krishna's remarkable performance with the bat, many netizens remarked that he was misaligned in his career choice and should pursue professional cricket. His impressive century in a 10-over match has sparked renewed discussions suggesting that he should have taken up cricket as a profession.

Remarkably, Krishna is just 21 runs away from surpassing his total of 319 runs in the 2024 tournament, having already scored 298 runs. Currently in second place is Asgar Khan from the Bhojpuri Dabanggs, with 228 runs, followed by Shabir Ahluwalia from the Mumbai Heroes, who has accumulated 205 runs. However, Ahluwalia's team has only one match remaining, as they have been eliminated from the tournament after losing all their group stage matches.

Jammy follows, facing a significant challenge ahead, having accumulated only 167 runs thus far. He has a minimum of four innings remaining to increase his total. Aditya Ojha, also representing the Dabanggs, occupies the fifth position with 153 runs, following one victory and two defeats. He has just one more match to ascertain whether his team will advance to the semifinals or be eliminated in the group stage.

BATSMAN	NO OF INNINGS PLAYED	TOTAL SCORE
Darling Krishna	6	298
Asgar Khan`	6	228
Shabir Ahluwalia	6	207
Jammy Banerjee	6	169
Aditya Ojha	6	153

The final matches of the group stage are scheduled to take place on February 22 and 23 in Surat. Subsequently, the top four teams will advance to Mysuru for the first time in the tournament's history to compete in the semifinals and final. The event will be broadcast live on JioHotstar.
