Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran under fire
Marsh has so far failed to provide solid starts to LSG as he has scored only 75 runs across the four innings. His lack of impact at the top has slowed down the team’s momentum. Along with him, middle-order batter Nicholas Pooran has also been struggling badly.
Given the situation, Karim has suggested that LSG must try new options like Matthew Breetzke. The former BCCI official feels the Lucknow team should not wait too long for Marsh’s return to form, as it could impact their chances in the ongoing tournament.
Pooran struggled in ILT20. So, these batting woes are hitting LSG in a very bad manner. And I think it's time now for them to replace... Mitch Marsh is a big problem. Matthew Breetzke as an opener. I think this is the time to make that change.”
Aaron Finch warns Lucknow Super Giants of their batting struggles in IPL 2026
Meanwhile, former Australia captain Aaron Finch also pointed out that big players like Pooran have not been able to deliver, and that is affecting the entire batting unit. He noted that LSG batters’ batting stats are the lowest in the competition, and they also lacked consistency.
Finch said on the same show, “They can't really get into a rhythm at the top of the order. And then Pooran has been horribly out of form. That's a real concern because you've put a lot of your salary cap and you've put a lot of your resources into that position in the middle order there, and he's been shuffled around, and he needs to find some form.”
