Is Mitchell Marsh playing today's LSG vs CSK IPL 2025 match?

In-form batter Mitchell Marsh is part of the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) team for today's IPL 2025 match against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. The Australian cricketer missed LSG previous match against the Gujarat Titans (GT), which was also played at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, since his daughter was not well.

At the toss for the LSG vs CSK IPL 2025 match, Lucknow captain Rishabh Pant confirmed that Marsh is available for the game. In the Aussie star's absence, LSG picked Himmat Singh for the last match.

It was Pant, however, who opened the innings with Aiden Markram in Lucknow's chase of 181. While Markram scored a fluent 58 off 31 balls, Pant failed again, dismissed by Prasidh Krishna for 21. With Marsh making a return to the team for the match against CSK, LSG left Himmat out of the side.
