Marcus Stoinis is one of Australia’s most powerful white-ball all-rounders, known for his ability to muscle the ball and chip in with useful medium pace. His international breakthrough came early, when he smashed an unbeaten 146 in just his second ODI, nearly pulling off a remarkable chase for Australia after walking in at 54 for 5.\r\nWith experience of over 350 T20 matches, Stoinis has built an impressive portfolio, scoring more than 7,000 runs and picking up over 200 wickets. His TATA IPL journey began in 2015, and he has since represented multiple franchises, including Delhi Capitals, Punjab Kings, Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Lucknow Super Giants.\r\nHe began to cement his place as a regular during his second stint with Delhi Capitals from 2020, featuring in all 17 matches that season. His time with Lucknow further highlighted his value, including a 400-plus run season in 2023. The following year, he registered his maiden IPL century, blasting an unbeaten 124 against Chennai Super Kings in Chennai.\r\nAt the 2025 mega auction, Punjab Kings secured him for INR 11 Crore after a bidding battle with RCB and CSK, adding proven firepower and experience to their setup.
