IPL 2025: In a high-intensity clash between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on March 25, Marcus Stoinis made headlines for an unexpected incident during PBKS’ thrilling 11-run victory.
Stoinis’ Powerful Six Injures Security Official
Australian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis, known for his brute strength, struggled early in his innings after coming in at No. 6. After scoring just one run off his first six balls, he found his rhythm with a boundary off R Sai Kishore in the 13th over. Moments later, he launched a massive six off Mohammed Siraj over deep mid-wicket. However, the ball struck a female security official stationed near the boundary.
The impact hit her right leg, raising immediate concern among players and onlookers. Fortunately, she appeared to recover quickly, though minor swelling was expected. The incident quickly went viral on social media, with fans reacting to both the power of the shot and the unexpected consequences.

PBKS Captain Shreyas Iyer Shines with Blazing 97
While Stoinis’ six grabbed attention, it was PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer who stole the show with a match-winning knock. Iyer hammered an unbeaten 97 off just 42 balls, smashing five fours and nine sixes. His explosive innings propelled PBKS to a formidable total of 243/5. Priyansh Arya (47) and Shashank Singh (44*) also played crucial roles in the batting onslaught.
