Aiden Markram looked in great touch during the 13th match of IPL 2025 between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on April 1.

After PBKS won the toss and chose to bowl first, they got an early breakthrough by dismissing LSG opener Mitchell Marsh for a duck. However, Markram took charge and tried to steady the innings.

Aiden Markram’s Classic Strokeplay

In the 3rd over, Markram played a beautiful lofted straight drive off Arshdeep Singh. On the fourth ball of the over, Arshdeep bowled a delivery pitched around the middle and leg stump. Markram stepped forward, judged the length perfectly, and drove the ball straight over the bowler’s head. He held his pose, watching the ball clear Glenn Maxwell at mid-on and race to the boundary.

On the very next ball, he struck another classy shot - this time through the off-side. It was a good-length delivery on the off-stump, shaping away from him. Markram stood firm and drove it through the point region, keeping the ball along the ground to find the gap.

Despite his strong start, Markram’s innings came to an early end in the next over. Lockie Ferguson bowled him out, and the South African batter had to walk back after scoring 28 off 18 balls.

At the time of writing, LSG were at 57/3 in 7.4 overs, with Ayush Badoni and Nicholas Pooran at the crease.
