Few cricket fans thought the 2025 Men's Hundred would be able to keep up with the entertainment and quality seen in the England vs India Test series but so far it has managed to keep up!
From Steve Smith being nutmegged bowled to Joe Root seeing his stumps re-arranged by the England Test bowling coach and David Warner chirping off to the media - it's had it all already.
With only the One-Day Cup competing for the attention of cricket fans during August in the UK, let's see which teams and individual players have caught the eye so far in the Men's Hundred.
Crawley Finds His Level
Zak Crawley's place in the England Test side seems to be constantly under threat but maybe this city-based franchise league is more his level.
The right-handed opener goes into this first weekend of the 2025 Men's Hundred with the highest individual score so far.
| Player | Team | Opposition | Score |
| Zak Crawley | Northern Superchargers | Welsh Fire | 67* |
| Phil Salt | Manchester Originals | Southern Brave | 60 |
| Tom Banton | Trent Rockets | Birmingham Phoenix | 43 |
Interestingly it is all Englishmen in the top eight performances with the bat so far in the Men's Hundred with Australia's Steve Smith coming in at number nine.

The Standout Bowlers In The Men's Hundred
| Player | Team | Opposition | Score |
| Scott Currie | Manchester Originals | Southern Brave | 4/28 |
| Rashid Khan | Oval Invincibles | London Spirit | 3/11 |
| Sam Curran | Oval Invincibles | London Spirit | 3/18 |
Unlike with the bat, it is not the English bowlers dominating the top of the charts so far with a Scotsman in Scott Currie leading the charge before Afghanistan's Rashid Khan in second.
With Lockie Ferguson in fourth place, Sam Curran is the solitary English bowler in the top four ahead of this weekend.
