The star Aussie all-rounder Marcus Stoinis came back to batting form in a sensational fashion with an outstanding knock for LSG against CSK in the ongoing IPL 2024. LSG took on the defending champions, CSK in the 39th match of the tournament at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

As the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 is nearing, here we’ll have a look at the three reasons Australia should consider Stoinis while selecting the squad for the prestigious cricket biennial.

Here’s a look at 3 reasons Marcus Stoinis should be considered in OZ squad for T20 WC 2024

1. Explosive Batting Approach

In modern-day cricket, what matters the most is the intent and approach of the batter who is there in the middle for his side. Be it international cricket or franchise cricket, the approach is the only key to getting the better of the bowlers.

Similar is in the case of star LSG all-rounder Marcus Stoinis; he had an aggressive and explosive batting approach which he displayed during the game against CSK. Stoinis scored 124 runs with a sensational strike rate of 196.82 off just 63 balls.

2. Can Play Anchor Role at number 3

LSG decided to play Stoinis at number 3 in the game against CSK; the star all-rounder lived up to the expectations of his side and team management. The 34-year-old stayed till the end of the innings and took LSG over the line, winning the match by a good margin of 6 wickets.

He played a crucial anchor role as the entire LSG batting revolved around him; so, it might be one of his amazing abilities which might impress the OZ management and make them pick him up in the Australia squad for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2024.

3. The knack for Playing a Big Knock

What’s more important for any team while playing in any ICC tournament is that their big batting names convert the good starts into big knocks. There have been a few big names who lived up to this responsibility, including the likes of David Warner, India’s Virat Kohli, and South Africa’s Heinrich Klaasen.

Similarly, the star OZ all-rounder Marcus Stoinis has also the knack for playing a big knock whenever his team need him in any crucial situation. He could play a crucial role for the Aussies in the crucial matches during the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.
