7. Gerald Coetzee

In the 2024 IPL auction, MI purchased South Africa’s bowling all-rounder Gerald Coetzee for INR 5 crore. The speedster looked sensational in the 2023 World Cup, bagging 20 wickets in eight games at an economy of 6.23. With these numbers, he also ended up as the leading wicket-taker for the Protea side in the tournament.
His magnificent bowling display in the World Cup helped him pull off the lucrative contract from Mumbai in the auction. Coetzee has played only four T20Is but he has the experience of 42 T20s for Knights in South Africa’s domestic circuit. The 23-year-old will look to make his IPL debut memorable with his bowling.
