Mitchell Marsh etched his name into history books on Thursday with brother Shaun as the duo became the first-ever sibling pair to smash Indian Premier League (IPL) hundreds. Sent into bat first, Mitchell took the Gujarat Titans bowlers to cleaners to complete his maiden IPL hundred in just 56 balls. It was also the first hundred by an overseas batter in IPL 2025.
His brother, Shaun, playing for Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings), had smashed a hundred in the inaugural 2008 season against Rajasthan Royals – 115 runs off 69 balls. Shaun is the elder.
Mitchell, who has been in rich form in IPL 2025, also became the 11th Australian batter to score hundred in a world’s richest league. In the process, the all-rounder also crossed the 500-run mark this season.
Opening the innings with Aiden Markram, Mitchell started his innings on a slower note, reaching his fifty in 33 balls, following which the Australian shifted gears. Mitchell was particularly brutal against Rashid Khan against whom the right-hander smashed 6, 4, 6, 4, and 4 in five consecutive balls in the 12th over.
Marsh was finally dismissed by Arshad Khan for 117 off 64 balls, which included 10 fours and eight sixes. He also became the fourth LSG cricketer to hit a IPL hundred after Quinton de Kock (vs KKR, 2022), Marcus Stoinis (vs CSK, 2024) and KL Rahul (vs Mumbai Indians, 2022).
