Mitchell Marsh Sets New IPL Record For LSG, Dethrones Rishabh Pant
Mitchell Marsh Sets New IPL Record For LSG; Rishabh Pant Dethroned
Mitchell Marsh, the LSG opening batter, was having a hot and cold IPL 2026 before he met the defending champions, RCB. In the entire tournament, Marsh has played some key knocks, but those never resulted in big scores until he faced the lacklustre RCB bowling attack at Ekana.
For the LSG Vs RCB IPL 2026 Match, the Ekana Surface had everything for the batters, and it was up to them to utilise the conditions. LSG were put into bat by Rajat Patidar, and while Arshin Kulkarni struggled to even rotate the strike (17 off 24), Marsh went ballistic, and shattered Rishabh Pant’s record.
Marsh Breaks Rishabh Pant’s IPL Record
The LSG Vs RCB IPL game was marred by rain, but that didn’t stop Marsh from causing damage to the RCB attack, as he took them to the cleaners and hammered a 49-ball hundred. In the process, he broke Pant’s record and became the LSG batter to register the fastest IPL century.
Pant had slammed a 54-ball ton against RCB last year, and Marsh attained the century milestone inside 49 balls.
