Stoinis picked up three wickets against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Qualifier 2.
Delhi Capitals (DC) all-rounder Marcus Stoinis came handy with both bat and ball against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Qualifier 2 of IPL 2020. In the first innings, Stoinis was used as an opener which paid off for DC. He scored 38 off 27 deliveries before picking up three valuable wickets in the second innings.
Stoinis removed opener Priyam Garg, Manish Pandey, and the most important wicket of Kane Williamson which helped his team qualify for the IPL 13 final. He celebrated those wickets in Hulk's style which attracted everyone.
After the match, Stoinis carried Hulk miniature with him while having a chat with captain Shreyas Iyer. Iyer asked him what does it symbolize to him, to which the Aussie responded, "Apparently that's what I am looking like when I celebrate my wickets."

The official Twitter account of IPL shared the conversation between Iyer and Stoinis. They wrote, "Meet The Hulk - Marcus Stoinis. @MStoinis reveals the mystery behind the Hulk action figure, his pumped up celebrations & his all-round show against #SRH. DO NOT MISS - Captain @ShreyasIyer15 doing a fun Stoinis impersonation".
DC would wish to see more of the Hulk celebration from Stoinis in the final against Mumbai Indians on Nov 10. They have been defeated by MI thrice this season already. It would need some extra effort to defeat MI for their maiden title.
