CHENNAI: Four weeks ago, Marcus Stoinis was dropped by Cricket Australia from their 2024-2025 central contracts list, but he didn't let that snub bother him.
Instead, he has been channelising all his energy into performing here in the IPL. And, on Tuesday at a crucial stage, the Lucknow Super Giants allrounder was able to show his mettle and pull off the highest-ever IPL chase at Chepauk. His superlative innings of 124 not out off 63 balls (13x4, 6x6) at Chennai Super Kings' citadel stunned the capacity crowd into silence and put the hosts in a spot of bother in their qualification run.
