Marcus Stoinis Profile
Marcus Stoinis has been a mainstay in Australia’s limited-overs sides, a dominant presence in the BBL, and a sought-after IPL performer.
Stoinis debuted for his home state, Western Australia, at 19, but found opportunities limited there and moved to Victoria, where he got a run in their Sheffield Shield side in 2013-14 and produced an outstanding 170 against Tasmania, a breakthrough innings that led to him becoming a regular in the top order. Stoinis was Victoria’s leading run-scorer in the 2014-15 Sheffield Shield season and was called up to Australia’s squad for limited-overs matches against England in 2015, where he debuted, playing an ODI and a T20I.
He next played an international about a year and a half later, having impressed in first-class cricket in the interim. In his second ODI, Stoinis took three wickets and scored 146 not out from No. 7 to help Australia almost pull off an unlikely victory against New Zealand at Eden Park. That innings gave him an unbroken run in the white-ball sides for about four years, during which time he cemented his position as one of the team’s top finishers.
That is also the role he has played in the IPL, featuring in all of Delhi Capitals’ games in their run to the final in 2020, and doing likewise with Lucknow Super Giants in 2023. In between, Stoinis helped guide Australia to a win in the 2021 T20 World Cup, putting on a remarkable stand of 81 with Matthew Wade in the semi-final against Pakistan after Australia were in strife at 96 for 5 chasing 177. In the BBL, on the other hand, he has been an opener for Melbourne Stars.
Stoinis moved back to Western Australia in 2017 for family reasons and was a regular in the first-class side for three seasons, though his returns were middling; he next played when he briefly figured in the title-winning WA side in 2022-23
IPL through the years
One of the premium qualities that isn’t available in abundance in the Indian premier league is the ‘bonafide all-rounders’. Marcus Stoinis belongs to that rare breed of cricketers who can bat anywhere in the batting order, bowl useful overs, both at the start and the end of a T20 innings and is a gun fielder. It is these qualities that prompted the Royal Challengers to enter a trade with the Kings XI Punjab ahead of the 2019 edition of the Indian Premier League. A late bloomer by international standards, Stoinis is a powerfully built man – who has the ability to clear any ground with his brutal hitting process.
Signed by Delhi Daredevils in 2015, he didn’t feature in the franchise’s plans and was later bought by Kings XI Punjab in the subsequent auctions. Although his international record was on the upward curve, it didn’t really translate into significant performances for the Mohali-based outfit. Nevertheless, the promise of a big future meant that they used their right-to-match card to grab him off RCB’s hands – despite the move costing them 6.2 crores – during the 2018 IPL auction. Another average season though meant that KXIP had reasons to off-load their prized asset – when RCB came calling once again in 2019, they were happy to trade him for homebred Mandeep Singh.
Stoinis went to play in different leagues, including for the Southern Brave in The Hundred and for the San Francisco Unicorns in the inaugural season of the MLC.
