Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) star batter Mitchell Marsh has praised the Indian Premier League (IPL) and called it the “best competition in the world.” The Aussie all-rounder mentioned about how the tournament is unpredictable and the perfect example of this is when LSG defeated GT on their home ground at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
In the last match against Gujarat Titans, Lucknow won by 33 runs after setting a competitive total of 235 runs. Marsh was the star of the match as he hit a magnificent century and scored a total of 117 runs off 64 balls, he also became the first overseas player to score a century in IPL 2025.
“It’s been very disappointing. We lost close games, and we are out of the race. The IPL is a beast of a competition. Any team can beat any team in this competition on a given day; that’s why this is the best competition in the world,” Marsh said in the post-match presentation after he was named as the Player of the Match.
“I have had a few years off in between as well (on finally getting his first IPL hundred). First played for the Deccan Chargers in 2010. It’s been a while. Getting an opportunity to open the batting. The partnership with Aiden on and off the field has been amazing. Came to the IPL pretty fresh. They (GT) bowled really well in the powerplay. If you are 12 off 12 in the powerplay, it’s panic stations, but once we got a few good partnerships, it made things easy for us,” he added.
