IPL 2025 Auction: Currently, a series of T20 international matches are ongoing between India and South Africa. Two games have been played in the series, with both teams winning one game each. Two games left. Meanwhile, IPL teams are also focusing on this series. Players who perform better in the series will obviously be given a warm welcome in the IPL auction. This is true for both Indian and South African team players. Meanwhile, in the second T20 match, South African bowler Gerald Kotjia performed so well that he is on the wishlist of many IPL teams.
Although South Africa’s Gerald Kotja is a fast bowler, his batting also often surprises. He played for Mumbai Indians in the IPL last year. MI then bought him for Rs 5 crore. His base price was only Rs 2 crore, but many teams wanted him, so his price kept rising, and Mumbai finally bought him for Rs 5 crore. His team’s performance was a mixed bag. But he has been released before the next IPL. Now they will appear at auction again.
Gerald Kotjia scored 19 points on just 9 goals
In the second T20 match against India, Gerald Kotjia played an important role in helping the team win. Victory seemed out of reach when South Africa’s seven batsmen managed just 86 runs. Although Tristan Stubbs played at one end, his efforts alone were not enough to lead the team to victory. At the same time, Kotja’s batting was also very good. He had a stormy innings, scoring 19 runs off just 9 balls. These included two fours and a long six. He led the team to victory with a strike rate of 211.
Teams are looking for such a player in the IPL who can help shape the match by batting, if required, in the final overs while bowling. Gerald Kotjia has done something similar and now he has become a target of IPL teams. This time too he will be participating in the auction with a base price of Rs 2 crore and may be acquired at a very expensive price. Now the IPL teams will surely keep a close eye on their performance in the remaining two matches.
