Thu Apr 24 15:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Marsh Achieves IPL Milestone After 16 Years
**Lucknow, India** – Mitchell Marsh of the Lucknow Super Giants has reached a unique milestone in the Indian Premier League (IPL). After scoring 1010 runs in his IPL career on Tuesday, April 22nd, 2025, he became the first player in the league’s history to take 16 years to reach the 1000-run mark.
Marsh, who debuted for Deccan Chargers Hyderabad in 2010, has had a sporadic IPL career, hampered by injuries and inconsistent appearances. While he’s currently performing strongly in IPL 2025, with 344 runs in 8 matches and competing for the Orange Cap, his journey to 1000 runs has been unusually long. This surpasses the previous record held by Moises Henriques (13 years) and Rahul Tewatia (12 years).
Despite his slow accumulation of runs, Marsh boasts impressive stats: a highest score of 89, an average of 24.05, a strike rate of 137.41, seven half-centuries, 81 fours, and 56 sixes. His 50th IPL match against Delhi Capitals marked the occasion of surpassing the 1000-run threshold. His extended journey to this milestone underscores the unique challenges and longevity in a player’s IPL career.
