🏏 LSG's Overseas Trio: The Perfect Antidote to Titans' Bowling Attack
In the 2025 IPL season, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have discovered a winning combination in their overseas trio — Mitchell Marsh, Nicholas Pooran, and Aiden Markram. Together, they’ve powered LSG’s batting unit and dismantled even the strongest bowling attacks — including that of the Gujarat Titans (GT).
🔥 Record-Breaking Performances
All three overseas stars crossed the 400-run mark in IPL 2025 — the first such feat by a foreign trio in IPL history.
- Mitchell Marsh: 12 innings, 560 runs, avg 46.67, SR 161.84, 1 century, 5 fifties
- Nicholas Pooran: 13 innings, 511 runs, avg 46.45, SR 198.83, 5 fifties
- Aiden Markram: 13 innings, 445 runs, avg 34.23, SR 148.82, 5 fifties
🔔 Combined sixes: 93 — the most by any trio in IPL 2025.
⚔️ Dominance Over Gujarat Titans
Despite GT’s bowling strength (Siraj, Rabada, Krishna, and Ishant Sharma), LSG’s trio outclassed them:
- GT managed only 6 wickets vs LSG in 2 matches.
- Average runs per wicket: 69.50 | Strike Rate: 39.5 (worst for GT vs any team).
- Marsh scored 34 off 16 vs Prasidh & 17 off 10 vs Rabada.
- Pooran hammered 55 runs off just 20 balls vs spinners — with 7 sixes!
🧠 Strategic Batting vs Short of Length Bowling
GT's tall pacers struggled with their short-pitched tactics. LSG batters countered with smart batting:
- Marsh: Avg ~40 | SR 177
- Markram: Avg 34 | SR 145
- Pooran: Avg 41 | SR 163
📈 Impact on LSG’s Season
LSG won 6 matches so far — two of them against top-ranked Gujarat Titans. The overseas trio was crucial in those wins and set new records in the IPL 2025 season.
