2. Gerald Coetzee
Gerald Coetzee is one of the exciting prospects in South Africa’s cricketing circles. He has the ability to clock speeds of over 140 kmph on a consistent basis and has rattled batters with his fiery pace in the domestic arena. Besides his bowling prowess, he is a useful contributor with the bat.
Coetzee has featured in 29 T20 matches and bagged 37 wickets at an economy of 7.76. On the batting front, he has scored 152 runs at a strike rate of 140.74. The youngster set the CSA T20 challenge 2022 ablaze with his sensational performances, bagging 13 scalps in eight games at an economy of 7.67 and smashing 85 runs at a stunning strike rate of 207.31.
The bowling all-rounder has shown a lot of promise and Chennai Super Kings could look to add him to their arsenal. In fact, the Chennai franchise has already shown their inclination towards Coetzee as their SA20-owned franchise, Joburg Super Kings selected him as one of their draft picks for the inaugural season of South Africa’s T20 league. Thus, it would not be a surprise if MS Dhoni & co. bids for him at the IPL 2023 auction.
