As the last edition of the IPL was a dismal one for LSG, but Marcus Stoinis’ explosive ton was a highlight of the season for them. While facing the Chennai Super Kings, LSG struggled while chasing down the total, but Marcus Stoinis stepped in and turned the tide.
Batting at the number 3 position, Stoinis smashed the century in 56 balls and carried on the momentum.
