Marcus Stoinis made his🎀 debut for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on Tuesday in the IPL 💟2019 Match 14 against Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
The Australian all-rounder 🦂played a c𒁃rucial knock after the Red brigade lost their three top-order batsmen cheaply.
Stoinis slammed 31 runs from 28 balls, including a monstrous six which not only got the crowd on their feet but also forced RCB skipper Virat Kohli to applaud the former’s efforts.
The incident happened in t🎶he 14th over of first innings. Stoinis, who initially struggled to find his rhythm in the game, went after Jofra Archer on a Free-Hit and smashed him for a huge six. While RCB went past the 100-run mark with this humongous shot, Kohli was seen elated in the dressing room.
