Marcus Stoinis is presently the only Australian holding the title of making a hundred and taking at least three wickets in a single game despite the fact that Australia has been producing many brilliant all-rounders throughout the years but no one ever levels up to Stonis. He throws a heavy ball that is challenging to control on the field because Australian fields have high bounces. Marcus has also been named the 2018–19 Australian ODI cricketer of the year.

Personal life
Marcus Stoinis, an Australian cricketer who has starred in both the IPL and the CPL, is not married at the moment. The Australian all-rounder and Stephanie Muller have been together for a long time. Although none of them publicly acknowledged their relationship, Stoinis frequently posts images of his lady on his official Instagram page. Later they broke up. Sarah Czarnuch and Marcus Stoinis are presently dating. Sarah is an Australian model, fashion designer, and writer for GT magazine’s beauty section.
When Stoinis first began his career with Western Australia, he was given the somewhat boring title Stonia, but Victoria really improved on that attempt and now refers to him as Oil. Although Stoinis claims it is because he “looks like an oil painting,” his teammates’ discovery of him using tanning oil appears to have more of an impact.
