"Very stylish performance" - Fans in awe as Aiden Markram smashes in LSG vs SRH IPL 2025 match

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) opener Aiden Markram delivered with the bat again in IPL 2025, this time against SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Monday (May 19). The right-handed batter smashed a quickfire 61 runs off 38 deliveries at a strike rate of 160.52, comprising four sixes and as many boundaries.

During his knock, he shared a 115-run partnership with Mitchell Marsh for the opening stand. He was eventually cleaned up by Harshal Patel with a slower delivery in the 16th over.

The Proteas all-rounder has been exceptional with the bat in IPL 2025, amassing 409 runs with the help of five half-centuries. The part-time off-spinner has been equally handy with the ball, bagging four wickets in as many innings. The Super Giants bought him for a base price of INR 2 crore at the mega auction last year.
