Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) star Mitchell Marsh fell agonisingly short of his second century in the IPL 2026 season during their high-voltage clash against Chennai Super King (CSK). The hard-hitting Australian opener hammered a sensational 90 off only 38 balls but was denied a well-deserved hundred due to an unfortunate run-out.
Marsh and Josh Inglis had given LSG a flying start, launching an all-out assault on the CSK bowlers right from the powerplay. His innings was filled with clean striking, including nine crisp fours and seven huge sixes that had the crowd on their feet.
Mitchell Marsh's unfortunate dismissal
Batting second after winning the toss, LSG needed a strong start against a strong CSK bowling attack. Marsh walked in early and immediately took charge. He reached his fifty in just 21 balls but failed to clinch his second IPL 2026 century this season. The turning point came in the 11.5 over when Mukesh Choudhary bowled a full delivery to Nicholas Pooran on the off stump. Pooran drove it hard and straight back towards the bowler. Mukesh reacted brilliantly in his follow-through, bending low to get a hand on the ball. The deflection went straight onto the stumps at the non-striker’s end.
Mitchell Marsh was caught backing up too far outside his crease and had no time to get back. He was well short when the bails lit up. Without waiting for the umpire’s decision, Marsh started walking back immediately, clearly disappointed with the unlucky end to what was turning into a match-defining innings.
