IPL 2021: Delhi Capitals’ all-rounder Marcus Stoinis is set to return to competitive cricket after opting out of Australia’s limited-overs tours of the West Indies and Bangladesh.
The swashbuckling all-rounder is a key member of the Delhi Capitals team and he is set to take the field for his Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise on September 22 against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
However, the star all-rounder has set a goal for himself as he wants to become the world’s best finisher in the next three years.
“My next phase, the way I see it, over the next three years I want to be not only the best finisher in Australia, but I also want to be the best finisher in the world,” told Marcus Stoinis
Thus, Stoinis is currently aiming to get some match practice under his belt and win the IPL with Delhi Capitals.
“The key for us is going to the tournament having each other’s back, looking to play like we’ve got nothing to lose because, at the end of the day, we don’t have anything to lose,” said Stoinis.
“I think if we play with that freedom and that excitement, we’re going to do something special. I think that’s the way we’ve got to attack that. There’s enough talent. There are so many good players in our team that there’s no reason why we shouldn’t,” he said.
Ricky Ponting
On Delhi Capitals coach and fellow Australian Ricky Ponting, the all-rounder said: “Ricky is a bloody genius. And a lot of his genius isn’t about cricket. It’s about how he communicates with people. He understands me quite well. So, he knows how to push my buttons. He knows when to challenge me. He knows when to pump me up.”
“When it comes to game time, we’ve got a good relationship in that I am sitting in the dugout, I am asking him what he is thinking. I’m telling him what bowler I want to target when to send me out, he’s telling me sort of sit down and relax,” said Stoinis.
