IPL 2019: 5 players who teams will regret releasing this season

#4 Marcus Stoinis

Stoinis will play for RCB in IPL 2019

Marcus Stoinis first played for Kings XI Punjab in the 2016 edition. The all-rounder had an impressive debut season with the Kings, scoring 146 runs at an average of 36.50 and picking up eight wickets in seven matches. In 2017, he featured in only five matches for the 2014 runners-up.

At the 2018 auction, Royal Challengers Bangalore bid aggressively for Stoinis before Kings XI Punjab used their right to match card to retain him for a whopping 6.20 crores. However, the Australian failed to live up to expectations. Stoinis scored just 99 runs and picked up a meager three wickets in seven matches. Prior to this season, He was thus traded for Mandeep Singh with RCB.

However, Stoinis has been in a rich vein of form of late. He has shown the ability to bat steadily on Indian pitches in the ongoing ODI series against India. Kohli has already said that the 29-year old is an impact player and if keeps up his form in the T20 league, Kings XI Punjab will surely regret the decision.
