The former Kings XI Punjab all-rounder didn't have the best of IPLs last year, however, his exploits in the 2016 edition might just as well work in his favour in the auction. Stoinis scored 146 runs in seven matches in 2016 and even managed to get eight wickets.

As far as his recent form his concerned, the 28-year-old has scored 179 runs in five innings in this year's Big Bash League at a strike-rate of over 140. On top of that, Stoinis has two half-centuries in three matches of the ongoing ODI series between England and Australia.
In all probability, the all-rounder is set to go for more than a decent sum in the upcoming auction.
