In the 18th edition of the league, Marsh played a role of only a batter, so far. The team management has been using him as an Impact Player. However, the allrounder expressed that if given a chance he would like to bowl as well.
“It’s a different experience playing the role of just batter, that’s for sure. I feel like a baseballer,” Mitchell Marsh said
“It has been a lot of fun. And yeah, I’m open to the role whenever they need me in the field or my bowling will come back at some stage. So the dream will be over,” he added.

Mitchell Marsh on Rishabh Pant’s captaincy
Marsh who played over 200 international matches for Australia across formats, gave his take on Rishabh Pant’s captaincy.
“Look, I think he’s really growing into a role and he’s still reasonably young, but, yeah, he’s a good leader. And, yeah, he’s just getting better and better,” Marsh said.
“So I am looking forward to hopefully playing under him for a while,” he further added.
Mitchell Marsh on being a part of LSG
Marsh was a part of six franchises including Pune Warriors India, Rising Pune Supergiant, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Delhi Capitals, before he joined LSG in 2025.
“I think I’ve really enjoyed it so far. New team, and new people. I just try to contribute wherever I can. Every time you play for a different team, it’s always a new experience. The team is run differently. But, yeah, this is a really close group of people and we got some fantastic humans here, which is for me more important than cricket. So, yeah, it’s been a real pleasure to be a part of it and hopefully we can keep winning,” Marsh expressed.
