Mitchell Marsh Praises Rishabh Pant's Leadership
Marsh's praise for Pant's leadership is a significant endorsement, given his experience playing under the captaincy of several skippers in the IPL. With his impressive form and the team's positive atmosphere, the Lucknow Super Giants will be looking to make a strong impact in the remainder of the season.
Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh has expressed his admiration for Rishabh Pant's leadership skills, describing him as a "good leader" who is "getting better and better" with experience. Marsh, who plays for the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, has had the opportunity to play under Pant's captaincy before with the Delhi Capitals.
Marsh, who was acquired by LSG for 3.4 crore in the IPL 2025 auction, has been in impressive form this season, scoring 344 runs in eight matches. He is also looking to contribute with his bowling skills, having taken 37 wickets in the IPL at an average of 21.49. Despite struggling with back issues, Marsh is open to resuming his bowling duties and is enjoying playing as a batter in this edition of the IPL.
The Lucknow Super Giants currently have five wins and four losses in the IPL 2025 points table and will need at least three wins from their remaining five matches to secure a spot in the playoffs. Marsh is optimistic about the team's chances, describing LSG as a "really close group of people." He believes that playing in the IPL is similar to international cricket due to the varying conditions and is pleased to be part of the team.
As the IPL 2025 season progresses, Marsh and the Lucknow Super Giants will be looking to build on their current form and secure a spot in the playoffs. With Marsh's impressive batting form and Pant's improving leadership, the team will be hoping to make a strong push for the championship title. Their next match is against the Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium on April 25.
