The Australian all-rounder kept Lucknow in the play-off race with an unbeaten 124 against the Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. Coming to receive the man of the match award, he said, “My relationship with the coach is very good. I came to know several days ago that my name was not mentioned in the contract. If it is not possible to play for the country, I am looking forward to playing in the in the T20 World Cup. Hopefully, there will be no problem playing in the World Cup as there is no contract.

Stoinis did not want to take a big shot from the first ball. He settled down on the pitch first, then started taking shots. He said, “If we had taken big shots from the beginning, it would not have been possible to win this match. Puran helped me a lot. A bowler against whom I could not get runs, he did, and Hooda also played a good inning. It is a collective effort to win. I didn’t win this match alone.”

In the IPL, the teams are seen making big runs in most of the matches. 200 runs are not a winning run anymore. Stoinis feels that the impact player rule is setting the stage for big runs. The Australian all-rounder said, “Having the impact player rule means any team can play one extra batsman or bowler. He added, “I don’t think there will be so many runs in the World Cup. The West Indies pitch slows down. IPL pitches are different. So good pitches are made to entertain the audience.
