6 times Kings XI Punjab overspent on their players in the IPL auction

#3 Marcus Stoinis - IPL 2018 Auction

Marcus Stoinis has spent three seasons with the Kings XI Punjab

Marcus Stoinis is currently one of the most popular all-rounders in the game and is a regular feature in the limited-overs format for Australia. After spending his first two years in the IPL with the Kings XI Punjab, he was not very impressive and everyone expected he would not be with the franchise in 2018.

However, to everyone's surprise, the Kings XI Punjab used the RTM card to get him back for a whopping INR 6.2 crores and it raised a few eyebrows as the all-rounder has not been very consistent with his game.

As everyone expected, Stoinis had a disappointing season and scored just 99 runs in 7 matches and in the bowling department, he only picked up 3 wickets and did not create any impact. He was traded to the Royal Challengers Bangalore in exchange for Mandeep Singh in the off-season.
