Marcus Stoinis shines for LSG
LSG's in-form all-rounder struck like lightning against MI players as he scored 62 runs off just 45 balls. He played an extraordinary innings against the Hardik Pandya-led Mumbai Indians. Deepak Hooda has not been able to perform well in this season so far. He could only score 18 runs against Mumbai Indians as well and was sent back to the pavilion. He took LSG to a commendable victory in their tenth match of IPL 2024.
MARCUS MARVELOUS STOINIS.
