IPL 2020 auction: 3 released players who might get big bids again

#3 Marcus Stoinis

Marcus Stoinis

Marcus Stoinis may have been dropped from the national T20 squad, but the Aussie all-rounder is likely to remain a force at the IPL level.

Stoinis was traded from Kings XI Punjab to Royal Challengers Bangalore for Rs 6.2 crore, and he did a commendable job with the bat in IPL 2019. Blessed with the ability to tonk the ball a long way, he featured in 10 games for RCB and scored 211 runs at a strike rate of 135.25, with a best of 46 not out.

Stoinis often came in and got some quick runs for the team. His bowling was a let-down though as he managed to pick up only two wickets. Stoinis is known as a very good death bowler, so his lack of effectiveness was surprising.

The Aussie has found his rhythm back at the domestic level, and has come up with some very good performances for Western Australia over the last month. He was the man of the match in a close game of the Marsh Cup against Victoria, where he was at his best with 45 and 3 for 20, his renowned death bowling again standing out.
