Stoinis is an Australian cricketer and specialist all-rounder who plays limited-over cricket. On several occasions, he has displayed his aggressive batting skills, and with the bowl, too, Stoinis has been quite effective. Speaking about the Indian Premier League, aka IPL, the player is currently signed with the Lucknow Super Giants team and is making fans proud.
