They don't call Marcus Stoinis the Hulk for no reason: he is a massive unit, a perfectly calm gentleman off the pitch, and most importantly, he is always angry. The all-rounder turned on the rage in Melbourne on Thursday after scalping Moises Henriques in a crucial juncture of the game.

‌Sydney Sixers looked well on their way to chasing down the target of 157 set by Melbourrne Stars at the MCG on Thursday with 67 required off the final eight overs and the Power Surge still in hand while two explosive batters James Vince and Moises Henriques occupied the crease. However, things quickly went downhill thereon for the current table toppers Sydney Sixers, courtesy of a collapse instigated by Marcus Stoinis and boy did the all-rounder celebrate in style.

With the Power Surge active, the pressure was on Stoinis when he took the ball in the 13th over. However, the veteran stayed calm to first dispatch James Vince by having him holed out at midwicket to Glenn Maxwell and then two balls later had Moises Henriques hit another one straight down the Stars skipper's throat. Stoinis was ecstatic at having turned around the game in the space of three deliveries as he let off a loud roar to let everyone know, before lifting his arms up and flexing his biceps to a packed arena.

Such was the passion in Stoinis' celebrations that his face turned cherry red with veins popping out of his neck and with the Stars' green on his back, the 35-yearold looked no less than the Hulk as Twitterati was quick to point out.

HULKKKKKK!!!!!

All batters would probably unanimously agree that the worst way to lose your wicket is getting run out. However, things went a step beyond for Faheem Ashraf in Sylhet on Thursday as not only did the all-rounder get run-out when he looked in great hitting touch but was also ragged in the process.
