Marcus Stoinis: Doni has been in the IPL since his inauguration season and has won four titles as captain of the Chennai Super Kings, including the 2021 IPL in the UAE.
Meanwhile, Stoinis has been in the IPL since 2016. And has not yet won a trophy as a player after playing for Delhi Capitals (now Delhi Capitals) and Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings).
Australian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis has revealed that a conversation with MS Dhoni. Made him happy and at the same time offended.
Australian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis recalled an interesting and “honest” conversation. With former Indian skipper Marcus Stoinis at the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 on Thursday.
“He was actually very honest with me. He understood me very well and he sort of said how they (CSK) would try to bowl to me and how he tried to set the fields for me. [It] was both a compliment but also a little dig where I have to figure out which way to take it and I’m taking it as a compliment (laughs),” Stoinis said in a conversation with The Grade Cricketer’s YouTube channel.
“It was very interesting he did say that it’s very obvious how some people want to take some responsibility and stay until the end. Whereas some people are willing to take the risk early too, sort of. Either try and get ahead of the game or walk off and he identifies that within the team,” Stoinis added.
Marcus Stoinis missed many of the Capitals campaigns in the UAE because he was injured in the 2021 IPL.
But returning to his second qualifying against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), but with no effect.
“We spoke about training, we spoke about his belief on ‘Work on your weakness as long as it’s not taking anything away from your strength’. So he spoke about how a lot of coaches will ask you to work on things. And you might work on the short ball and then you start missing the full ball which was a really, really nice filter for me for training,” the all-rounder added.
Stoinis is currently on the Australian national team for the 2021 T20 World Cup.
In the opening game against South Africa, which was won by Australia, he scored 24 out of 16 points.
