Delhi: Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) opener Mitchell Marsh is seen in tremendous form in the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025). He gave the team a fast start, batting aggressively against Mumbai Indians (Mi). Marsh has become the batsman to play the most balls in Powerplay. However, young spinner Vignesh Puthur dismissed him and ended his innings.
Marsh batted in an explosive manner in this match, which made Lucknow a great start. On the strength of his fiery innings, the team scored 69 runs in the powerplay without any loss, out of which 60 runs came alone with Marsh’s bat. His partner Aiden Markram added just 7 runs. Marsh completed his half -century in just 27 balls.
Shikhar Dhawan’s 10 -year -old record broken
Vignesh Puthur took a catch on his own ball and ended Marsh’s bang innings. He was dismissed for 60 runs with the help of 9 fours and 2 sixes off 31 balls. During this, he faced 30 balls in Powerplay and set a new record in IPL history. Earlier, Shikhar Dhawan played 29 balls in the powerplay against Mumbai Indians 10 years ago, which was overtaken by Marsh.
Head beaten, but lagged behind McGark
Marsh scored 60 runs in Powerplay, which is the second highest score by a batsman in the first six overs against Mumbai Indians. In this case, the record of Jack Fraser McGark of Delhi Capitals retained, who scored an unbeaten 78* against Mumbai last season. However, Marsh surpassed the Trevis Head of Sunrisers Hyderabad, who scored an unbeaten 59* runs in the powerplay against Mumbai in 2024.
Significantly, Marsh is running in the best form this season. He has scored three half -centuries in four innings. The special thing is that from 2010 to 2024, he was able to score only three half -centuries in 36 innings, but this season he has played innings of 72, 52, 0 and 60 runs. He has become the second batsman after Kyle Myers who scored half -centuries for Lucknow during Powerplay.
