Mon Nov 25 02:37:11 UTC 2024: ## Stoinis’ Mammoth Six Hints at Big IPL Auction Bid

**Abu Dhabi, UAE:** Marcus Stoinis’ explosive performance in the Abu Dhabi T10 League has sent ripples through the Indian Premier League (IPL) ahead of its mega auction in 2025. The Australian all-rounder smashed a stunning 42 runs off just 16 balls for the Deccan Gladiators on Saturday, November 23rd, including a monstrous 109-meter six that cleared the stadium.

Stoinis’ impressive display, featuring three fours and four sixes at a strike rate of 262, has reignited speculation about his value in the upcoming IPL auction. His IPL record speaks for itself: 1866 runs and 43 wickets in 96 matches at a strike rate of 142, including a century.

While he was last with the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), who released him before the previous mega auction, his recent performance suggests he’ll be a highly sought-after player. With LSG having retained several players and possessing a significant purse of ₹69 crore, it remains to be seen whether they will attempt to re-sign him. Several other franchises are expected to bid aggressively for the powerful all-rounder. Stoinis’ 109-meter six, a video of which was shared by FanCode, is a strong indicator of his current form and potential impact in the IPL.
