The stage was set at Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium for a thrilling match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and the home team, Lucknow Super Giants. And what a show it was, with LSG’s opener Mitchell Marsh rewriting the record books. In just 37 balls, Marsh smashed 67 runs, including 4 fours and 5 sixes, against RCB. This power-packed performance not only earned him a place in the record books but also made him the batsman with the most 50-plus scores for LSG in a single IPL season.
Marsh’s incredible form this season has been a treat to watch. With 627 runs in 13 matches, he boasts an average of 48.23 and a strike rate of 163.71. He’s now the highest run-scorer for LSG in a single IPL season, surpassing KL Rahul’s record of 616 runs in 2022. The top run-scorers for LSG in a single season now look like this:
- 627 – Mitchell Marsh (2025)
- 616 – KL Rahul (2022)
- 520 – KL Rahul (2024)
- 511* – Nicholas Pooran (2025)
- 508 – Quinton de Kock (2022)
And when it comes to 50-plus scores in a single season for LSG, Marsh leads the pack with 7 scores, followed by KL Rahul with 6 in 2022. The list includes:
- 7 – Mitchell Marsh (2025)
- 6 – KL Rahul (2022)
- 5 – Aiden Markram (2025)
- 5* – Nicholas Pooran (2025)
But Marsh wasn’t the only one making headlines. Rishabh Pant, who had been facing criticism for his inconsistent form, silenced his detractors with a stunning century against RCB. Pant’s blistering 118-run innings off 61 balls included 11 fours and 8 sixes. This impressive performance came after a slump in form, which had sparked widespread criticism, especially given his pricey acquisition by LSG for 27 crores. Pant’s century was a fitting response to his critics, proving that he still has what it takes to dominate on the field.
