IPL 2020: One all-rounder from each team to look out for

Marcus Stoinis (Delhi Capitals)

Marcus Stoinis

A top-order batsman and medium-pace bowler, Marcus Stoinis burst onto the national team with a lot of potential. However, he has failed to offer consistency and is yet to cement his place in the playing XI. A prodigy in domestic cricket, Stoinis has largely remained unsuccessful in the Indian Premier League in the four seasons he has participated in.

Royal Challengers Bangalore released the Aussie all-rounder ahead of the auctions owing to his poor show in 2019 where he managed to scalp only two wickets from ten matches besides scoring 211 runs. But Delhi Capitals has shown trust in the 30-year-old and considering his current form, Stoinis can be the X-factor for his side.

The Victorian is coming on the back of a strong Big Bash League campaign where he smacked 705 runs from 17 outings at an average of over 54. He single-handedly took Melbourne Stars to the finals but lost to Sydney Sixers in the title clash. Marcus Stoinis will be keen to repay the trust shown the franchise and keep up his spectacular run in the 13th edition of the tournament.
