LSG produced a freak show on Friday night as they put the second-highest score in the history of the tournament. The LSG scored 253/5 in 20 overs. The side promoted Ayush Badoni and Marcus Stoinis up in the order and the move worked wonders for the LSG. While Badoni scored 43 off just 24, Stoinis finally announced his arrival with an insane 72 off 40 balls.
Brett Lee said on Jio Cinema –
“He is a captain in the making. He has got a great cricket brain. Look how relaxed he is around the team. He is a freak, that is the best way to describe him. He performs with the bat and the ball, and his throwing arm is very powerful.”
Stoinis also opened the bowling for the Lucknow Super Giants in the run-chase and picked a wicket, conceding 21 runs in 11 balls. Former Australia bowler Brett Lee was mightily impressed with Stoinis’ all-round skills, and predicted that the 33-year-old could be a “captain in the making.”

Brett Lee added –
“He also takes good catches. He is a complete package. But tonight, he showed his class. This was a time when the team went from a low, slow and hard wicket at home to a wicket where the ball was coming nicely on the bat. So, he definitely cashed in tonight.”
