Cricket fans were a bit skeptical when Lucknow Super Giants brought in Mitch Marsh and put him at the top of the batting order. He was coming off an injury, so there were doubts about whether he’d even play in the IPL. But he really showed everyone what he’s made of with some standout performances.
In the match against the Gujarat Titans, he went full throttle and scored his first century in the IPL, hitting the milestone in just 56 balls. This set a solid stage for the middle-order batsmen. Speaking of centuries, here’s a look at other Aussies who have also hit tons in the IPL. Shaun Marsh kicked things off as the first big Aussie star, ending up as the top run-scorer in the first season. Other legends like Symonds, Hussey, and Gilchrist also scored centuries in earlier years.
