In the ongoing IPL 2025 season, Australian T20I captain Mitchell Marsh has showcased remarkable performance. His exceptional batting power has played a crucial role, and he has now become the first player in T20 history to surpass 5000 runs. In a recent match against RCB, he narrowly missed a fifty, falling short by just 15 runs, but managed to secure it on the final ball of the powerplay. This season marks a significant milestone for Marsh, as he is only the second player to accumulate over 600 runs in a single IPL season, a feat he had not achieved previously.

With over 600 runs in this IPL season, he has established himself as a pivotal player for LSG, alongside teammates Aiden Markram and Nicholas Pooran. His swift fifty against RCB, marking his sixth of the season, underscores his consistent form and composure in high-pressure situations, a notable improvement from his past IPL performances.

Mitchell Marsh's contributions have propelled him into the top five run-scorers for LSG, where he amassed over 600 runs in Lucknow. In a recent match, he scored 67 runs off 37 balls, forming a formidable 152-run partnership with captain Pant, helping LSG post a total of 227 for 3. However, RCB successfully chased down the target with eight balls to spare, thanks in part to Kohli's explosive 54 runs off just 30 balls, which set the stage for Jitesh Sharma to lead the chase.
