Mitchell played one of the most commanding knocks of the IPL and ended up with a breathtaking 117 off just 64 balls. The landmark moment came in the 17th over, at 16.5, when he tapped a back-of-length delivery from Arshad Khan into the gap at point. Reaching the milestone, Marsh simply raised his bat, smiled, and acknowledged the dugout with a thumbs-up without any theatrics, and just simple class.
Just when he was off to his highest total, his superb knock ended in the 19th over when he was dismissed by Arshad Khan. Facing Khan in the 19th over(18.2), Marsh attempted a loft wide-length delivery over the side, but he missed it and ended it straight to Rutherford in the deep. Attempting a century with 10 fours and 8 sixes, Marsh’s innings was complemented by Nicholas Pooran’s half-century. With contributions from Marsh, Pooran, and Aiden Markram, LSG posted the season’s highest score in front of the Gujarat Titans.
