Mitchell Marsh bludgeoned 11 boundaries and five huge sixes in his cracking half-century against the Rajasthan Royals in match 64 of the IPL 2026 season. However, the cricketer missed out on a well-deserved century by just four runs as he was dismissed in the final over of the innings under dramatic circumstances.

For the second time in succession this season, Marsh was dismissed in the 90s courtesy of a run out, this time falling short of his crease to a bullet throw from Royals stand-in captain Yashasvi Jaiswal.
