The lowest ranked cricketers on EA Cricket VIVO IPL

EA Cricket is one of the most popular cricket games on this planet. Having been released more than 10 years ago, the game still has a good user base and with time, players have developed patches to add newer things to EA Cricket. The VIVO IPL patch in the game has been a massive hit, and here are the lowest ranked players in the game.

The Australian all-rounder has made a name for himself as a limited overs specialist with handy bowling and batting abilities from the No.7 spot. Stoinis plays fist class cricket for Victoria in his native Australia and is contracted to the Melbourne Stars in the domestic Big Bash League. Previously, the allrounder also represented Western Australia in first-class cricket and the Perth Scorchers in earlier editions of the Big Bash League.

Stoinis has developed a reputation for some high-octane batting while also being quite useful with the ball. In this edition of the VIVO IPL, the Australian is contracted to the Kings XI Punjab. He has been a woeful disappointment for the Preity Zinta-owned outfit with a meagre return of 17 runs and 2 wickets from a total of 5 matches played.

While big things were expected of the Australian, he has failed to rise to expectation. On the IPL version of EA Cricket, Stoinis is also one of the lowest ranked players in the game, with a batting rating of 65 and a bowling rating of 67 which seems fitting when one considers his performances in this IPL season.
