Following discussions on the article's talkpage and at the Cricket Project, concerns have been raised about this list. These include, but are not limited to, all the stats coming from a single source (and indeed reference), the lack of rationale on why this is deemed to be significant, and the fact it doesn't take that long to play 100 matches (6 or 7 seasons).

Delete for the reasons at the WT:CRIC discussion: it only takes 6-7 years to meet this criteria, no evidence that "100 IPL appearances" is considered a significiant achievement by reliable sources e.g. newspapers. This is just a stat plucked out of Cricinfo's database, which doesn't demonstrate notability of the stat. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:59, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. We don't have such a list for any other domestic cricket competition as far as I can tell. StickyWicket (talk) 19:28, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Essentially just WP:NOTSTATS and quite fancruft-like. Ajf773 (talk) 09:25, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Per my comments on the talk page, we don't have these lists for other domestic competitions. CreativeNorth (talk) 15:01, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. To say simply, we don't need these type of articles. Playing 100 Test or 200 ODI matches can be a prestigious record (stated by reliable sources) for having such lists. But we don't need those in case of franchise leagues. Other franchise leagues such as - BPL, PSL or CPL also don't have these type of lists. — A.A Prinon ^Conversation 06:35, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
