Gerald Coetzee is in cracking form both with the ball and the bat. While with the bat, he is providing some top cameos in the end, as a bowler, he is creating an impact at all phases of the game. He will surely be in great demand at the auctions. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of three franchises which could target Gerald Coetzee in IPL 2025 Mega Auctions.
1) Delhi Capitals
Delhi Capitals may not continue with Anrich Nortje for the next cycle. They could go again in the direction of South Africa to find their lead overseas pacer.
Gerald Coetzee does not have the experience in IPL to become a lead pacer. Nevertheless, he is an option worth considering and the new management could push for his signature.
2) Punjab Kings
Punjab Kings is one of the franchises which could target Gerald Coetzee in IPL 2025 Mega Auctions. Ricky Ponting has the task of building a new pace attack for the side. It is not certain if Arshdeep Singh will return to the squad.
PBKS may refrain from using the RTM Card for Kagiso Rabada. They could instead target Gerald Coetzee, who offers more value with the bat and is also younger. Of course, he cannot be the leader of the pace attack but can be the second overseas pacer.
3) Gujarat Titans
It will be interesting to see the kind of bowling attack Gujarat Titans will target at the auctions. Last time around, with acquisitions such as Shami, Lockie and Alzarri, they were focussing on HTD bowlers. Later, they slightly shifted their strategy with names such as Mohit Sharma.
Irrespective of this, a player like Coetzee should be more than useful in Ahmedabad. Under lights at the Narendra Modi Stadium, he can create trouble for the batters. Therefore, he could be a target for the side.
