The pacer cleaned up <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/aiden-markram\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Aiden Markram<\/a> for 47 with a slower delivery to break the 99-run first-wicket partnership between him and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/mr-marsh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Mitchell Marsh<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The dismissal came in the 11th over of LSG\u2019s innings. Rana bowled a full-length ball outside off that jagged back in after seaming. Markram was looking for a flick shot, but the ball entered the bat and pad gap before crashing into the off and middle stumps.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the video below:<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>With the dismissal, Aiden Markram missed back-to-back half-centuries, having scored 53 against the Mumbai Indians (MI) in his previous outing.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Harshit continued his knack for breaking partnerships for KKR. The speedster was retained by the Knight Riders for INR 4 crore ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction. That came after he bagged 19 wickets in 13 games last season as the franchise won their third IPL title.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram\u2019s partnership put LSG in a commanding position in the IPL 2025 match vs KKR<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram\u2019s partnership put LSG in pole position in their IPL 2025 encounter against KKR.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of writing, the Super Giants were 154\/1 after 14 overs, with Marsh 78 (44) and Nicholas Pooran (20 off 12) at the crease.<\/p>\n<p>Ajinkya Rahane-led KKR are coming on the back of an 80-run win against SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their last outing.
