'The Way He Took Down Hazlewood Was Brilliant': Chopra Praises Marsh After Century Against RCB
Lucknow Super Giants: Former cricketer Aakash Chopra has heaped praise on Lucknow Super Giants opener Mitchell Marsh, lauding his attacking approach against Australian spearhead Josh Hazlewood after his blazing century helped Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) register a thrilling nine-run win against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).
Marsh played a crucial role in LSG posting 209 runs in a rain-curtailed 19-over-a-side game, as he scored his first century for the side, taking just 49 balls, which is also the fastest by any LSG batter in IPL history. He scored 111 runs in 56 balls, laced wit nine fours and as many sixes.
Chopra believes that Marsh has the ability to shift the momentum by taking over the fast bowlers from the onset. “Marsh is the only batter in this entire LSG setup who has batted at the same position throughout the tournament. Everybody else has been moved around. He’s got the strength. He’s a very different kind of opener. He’s tall and has long levers and, therefore, goes downtown," he told Jio Hotstar.
