Marcus Stoinis hammered an impressive 124 runs off just 63 balls to guide LSG to a 6 wicket victory over CSK, which propelled LSG into the top four of the points table. After playing one of the best innings in the history of IPL Stoinis spoke in detail about his contract situation with Cricket Australia.

Marcus Stoinis smoked 18 off 4 balls in the Mustafizur's last over to take breach the cheepak fortress. 
Despite being axed from Cricket Australia's central contracts list of 2024-2025 season, Stoinis remains determined to extend his international cricket career even aftermath of the upcoming T20 World Cup in June. The 34-year-old versatile all-rounder expressed his commitment to continue playing for Australia, indicating his strong desire to be part of the squad for the T20 World Cup in the USA and the Caribbeans.

"I've got a great relationship with the [Australia] coach [Andrew McDonald]," Marcus Stoinis said.

"Me not getting a contract, I knew that a while ago. I think it is great to give younger kids a crack and let them take my spot. I'm absolutely fine with that on the contract list. But on the playing front, obviously want to make sure that I'm there and that's also why it's so lucky for us and for me particularly to have this competition [the IPL], that's why I love it so much." Stoinis added.
