Marsh was bowling his first over during SRH’s first game against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Monday but twisted his ankle while bowling his second ball after attempting to block a drive from RCB’s Aaron Finch. Soon, he left the field after bowling just four balls, and Vijay Shankar completed his over.

He did come out to bat though but was dismissed for a golden duck by Shivam Dube.

It was a forgettable start for the Hyderabad franchise, coached by Trevor Bayliss, as they lost the match by 10 runs. They next take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Saturday.
