Mitchell Marsh has been playing solely as a batter in IPL 2025 due to a back injury he sustained ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 (ruled out of the ICC event). The Aussie all-rounder was bought for INR 3.4 crore. With his performances, the 33-year-old proved to be a steal at the mega auction, becoming the first LSG batter to reach 500 runs this year.
