Top five steal deals of IPL auction 2024

2. Gerald Coetzee

South African fast-bowler Gerald Coetzee was bought by Mumbai Indians for only INR 5 crores. Many expected the Proteas firebrand pacer to get the franchises to break their banks, but MI instead got him for a cheap deal. They have a raw pacer who bowls at 145 kph easily and is a handy batter down the order for a very economical price.

The Proteas pacer relies on sheer pace, deceptive variations, and his ability to induce uncomfortable bounce and skid off the pitch, making him a wicket-taking threat unlike any other in the MI camp. He has already said that he’s excited to bowl with Jasprit Bumrah for MI and this combination will be a lot to handle for opposition.
