According to a report in , the Aussie batsman has been carrying a niggle ever since his injury on April 19 and finally decided to return back home on Monday after aggravating the injury. He batted in the team’s game against Gujarat Lions yesterday and scored just one run off three balls. Marsh also missed Kings XI Punjab’s opening game of the IPL with food poisoning before scoring 159 runs in six matches at an average of 31.80.
