IPL 2023: Best starting XI of LSG after mini auction
LSG broke the bank to sign Nicholas Pooran at IPL 2023 auction and acquired him after spending a staggering sum of INR 16 crore.
6. Marcus Stoinis
Marcus Stoinis has been a proven performer in the T20 circuit. He has featured in 213 games in the shortest format and amassed 4323 runs at a strike rate of 135.55. Also, the Australian all-rounder has bagged 95 wickets at an economy of 9.00. The 33-year-old has shown his all-round might in the IPL arena as well. He has hammered 1070 runs at a strike rate of 137.36 and bagged 34 wickets in the competition.
LSG picked the ace all-rounder for the 2022 season and entrusted him with the role of a finisher. Stoinis fared well for his new franchise and smashed 156 runs in 11 matches at a strike rate of 147.17. However, he was not at his best on the bowling front and conceded runs at an economy of 11.29.
When LSG take the field in the 2023 season of the cash-rich league, Stoinis will again be entrusted to do the heavy lifting with the bat in the slog overs. Also, he will likely be the fourth seamer of the team and would be eager to put on an improved bowling display.
