Lucknow Super Giants star Mitchell Marsh, the Australian all-rounder, hit his first IPL century during their 13th IPL 2025 match against the hosts and table toppers Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad on Thursday night (May 22). With the help of this century, IPL has got a new story that started from its inaugural edition in 2008.

IPL 2025, GT vs LSG: Mitchell Marsh scored 117 runs

Lucknow Super Giants scored 235/2 in 20 overs with the power of opener Mitchell Marsh's brilliant century. After completing his sixth IPL 2025 50 and second consecutive 50 in 33 balls, where the right-handed batter slammed four fours and four sixes, he recorded his first IPL century in 56 balls. It was the seventh IPL 2025 century, which was the first IPL 2025 hundred by an overseas batter. Marsh scored 117 off 64 balls with the help of 10 fours and eight sixes before Arshad Khan dismissed him in the 19th over. 

Opener Mitchell Marsh had two important partnerships during that memorable century. While he had a 91-run opening partnership with Aiden Markram, he and Nicholas Pooran had another 121-run partnership for the second wicket. 

With his 117 runs, LSG opener Mitchell Marsh recorded the second-highest individual score in the IPL 2025, behind SunRisers Hyderabad opener Abhishek Sharma's 141 against Punjab Kings in Hyderabad during their successful chase of the 246-run target.

Marsh brothers with IPL centuries

Meanwhile, this century from Mitchell Marsh was very special because it was the first time that IPL experienced brothers' names in the long IPL centuries list. 

In the IPL 2008, the inaugural edition of the cash-rich tournament, Australian cricketer Shaun Marsh, the elder brother of Mitchell Marsh, became the first uncapped cricketer to record an IPL century. Serving for Kings XI Punjab (now known as Punjab Kings), Shaun scored 115 off 69 balls against Rajasthan Royals in Mohali. It was his only IPL century, while he played 71 IPL matches all for the Punjab franchise.  

Now, the latest IPL century from Mitchell Marsh set a first story of a pair of brothers scoring IPL centuries.

Lucknow Super Giants' star Australian batter Mitchell Marsh slammed a century in their IPL 2025 match against the hosts Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad on Thursday night (May 22). With his first IPL century, Marsh created a new IPL history.

Lucknow Super Giants have already been eliminated from the IPL 2025 while they are playing their 13th match of the season, and that too against the points table toppers Gujarat Titans. After Titans chose to field first, LSG openers provided a strong start, where Mitchell Marsh dominated with the bat.  

IPL 2025, GT vs LSG: Mitchell Marsh recorded a 56-ball century

After LSG managed to score 53/0 at the end of the powerplay, the openers Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram had a 91-run partnership for the first wicket in 9.5 overs. While Markram was dismissed for 36 runs, Marsh continued his domination and completed his second consecutive fifty in 33 balls, with the help of four fours and four sixes. Marsh later completed his first IPL century in 56 balls, the joint fastest for the franchise (equalled the joint record of KL Rahul and Marcus Stoinis). 

With the help of 10 fours and eight sixes, Marsh scored 117 runs from 64 balls before Arshad Khan dismissed him in the 19th over. He had a 121-run partnership for the second wicket with Nicholas Pooran (56 not out off 27 balls; four fours and five sixes), and LSG managed the total of 235/2 in 20 overs.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) captain Pat Cummins was caught in a funny moment, where he was spotted carrying 'Mitchell Marsh' into the team bus. Members in the bus couldn't believe what Cummins did.

The video went viral among cricket fans, but it is not clear when the video actually was captured. On May 19, Sunrisers Hyderabad was up against Lucknow Super Giants, where Hyderabad got a better hand over Lucknow in a high-scoring affair. Marsh and Cummins, teammates in the Australia dressing room, are now rivals representing Lucknow Super Giants and Su,nrisers Hyderabad, respectively.

For Australia, Marsha won multiple ICC events, including the ODI World Cup and T20I World Cup, and Cummins is one of the most successful skippers of Australia in modern cricket, with multiple ICC awards. Despite electrifying international careers, neither of the Aussies could save their teams, LSG and SRH, both out of IPL 2025 contention.

Top 3 Captain choices

<![CDATA[IPL 2025: 3 players who can replace Rishabh Pant as LSG captain]]> https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/ipl-2025-3-players-who-can-replace-rishabh-pant-as-lsg-captain/ https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/ipl-2025-3-players-who-can-replace-rishabh-pant-as-lsg-captain/ Sat, 05 Apr 2025 01:51:28 GMT

Rishabh Pant’s captaincy of the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in IPL 2025 has been questioned as he has struggled with the bat, even though he was purchased for a record-busting INR 27 crore, the highest price ever for an IPL player. Pant was made captain in January 2025, but his play over the first few games has been underwhelming. In his first three matches of IPL 2025, Pant made a golden duck against Delhi Capitals, 15 in 12 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad, and only 2 against Punjab Kings and 2 against Mumbai, falling to Glenn Maxwell repeatedly. This prolonged slump has led to calls for his head, in large part due to the high expectations that have always come with his steep price tag. If LSG chooses to sack him in the middle of the season owing to this lackluster performance, three names emerge as leading candidates to succeed him:

Aiden Markram 

Markram has gone about his business under the radar, developing into a consistent top-order batter and a shrewd captain. So far this season, in just four matches, he has made 134 runs at an average of 33.50 and an SR of just over 135. His calm 53 against Mumbai Indians helped hold the innings together after Pant was out early on. His cool, strategic captaincy has already brought two successive SA20 crowns with Sunrisers Eastern Cape. His experience leading South Africa in T20Is will serve him well. Even though he hasn’t bowled this season, his admissible off-spin gives any squad depth. Considering Pant’s recent odyssey, Markram’s form and history as a leader place him as a strong candidate.

Nicholas Pooran

Another of LSG’s hitters with the ability to change matches, Pooran has been in electric touch this season so far, scoring 189 runs at an average of 47.25 and a strike rate just below 165. Although he has been out for 12 against MI, his previous scores of 70, 44, and 75 have been match-defining. Having previously captained the West Indies in T20s and having served as LSG stand-in captain in 2023, Pooran possesses strong leadership credentials. His presence behind the stumps and ability to finish games make him a dynamic option to step up if the team chooses to go in a different direction from Pant.

Mitchell Marsh

Mitchell Marsh has been the best player in the tournament for LSG so far this season. With 236 runs in just four games at an average of 59 and a strike rate of 155, he’s been a nightmare for any opposition bowlers up the top of the order. His blistering 60 off 31 balls against MI helped him bag the Player of the Match award and propelled LSG to a massive 210 total. Though a back injury has prevented him from bowling, Marsh’s leadership experience with Australia including leading them in T20Is and his consistently strong batting performances put him in an excellent position to win the job. Once he’s fully fit, his all-around capabilities can be an added bonus.

With Rishabh Pant ready to return to form even after heavy investment, LSG will have to look for other options to replace the captain. Markram provides seasoned calmness and control, Pooran explosive aggression and national familiarity, and Marsh that extra impact and international know-how. Any one of the three could provide LSG the spark they need to jumpstart their season.

Top 3 Vice-captain choices

Deepak Chahar: Indian pacer Deepak Chahar has a strong experience and started well in the IPL 2025 with four wickets in three matches, including three wickets in the powerplay.
