Proteas fast bowler Gerald Coetzee debuted for the Gujarat Titans against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League this week.
This was Coetzee’s first competitive fixture since mid-January 2025. He had been sidelined by an injury sustained during the Joburg Super Kings’ SA20 campaign.
Gujarat remained without Proteas fast bowler Kagiso Rabada for the fixture against Hyderabad. Rabada played two matches in the 2025 IPL before returning home in late March.
Several other South Africans are involved in this year’s edition of the IPL.
Batsmen Aiden Markram, Matthew Breetzke and David Miller are with the Lucknow Super Giants.
The Sunrisers have Proteas pair Heinrich Klaasen and Wiaan Mulder.
Fast bowler Lungi Ngidi is with the Royal Challengers Bangalore – and all-rounder Marco Jansen is with the Punjab Kings. The Mumbai Indians have South African duo Corbin Bosch and Ryan Rickelton.
Wicketkeeper-batsman Quinton de Kock and fast bowler Anrich Nortje are with the Kolkata Knight Riders.
Batsmen Faf du Plessis, Tristan Stubbs and Donovan Ferreira are with the Delhi Capitals.
