Marcus Stoinis is an Australian all-rounder who has become one of the most sought-after players in Twenty20 cricket around the world. Standing at 6 feet 1 inch (185 cm), the 36-year-old powerhouse remains an active member of Australia’s T20I squad and recently featured in the 2025 T20I series against India. In franchise cricket, he last represented the Lucknow Super Giants in the 2025 Indian Premier League season.
Known for his explosive finishing ability and wicket-taking spells, one of Stoinis’s most memorable moments came during the 2020 IPL when he produced a stunning all-round performance — 53 runs and 3 wickets in the same match — showcasing why he is considered one of the format’s elite match-winners. After contributing to Australia’s 2021 T20 World Cup and 2023 ODI World Cup triumphs, he retired from ODI cricket in February 2025 to focus solely on T20 cricket.
