IPL 2024 is about to begin soon, and just before that, the second season of SA20 is currently underway in South Africa. It is the premier T20 league of the rainbow nation, and the six teams of this competition are all owned by IPL team owners only.
The names of the six franchises are MI Cape Town, Joburg Super Kings, Pretoria Capitals, Paarl Royals, Durban’s Super Giants and Sunrisers Eastern Cape. Naturally, if an unsold player performs exceptionally well in SA20, he has a chance of playing in IPL 2024 as well. In this listicle now, we will look at four such names who can return as replacements.
1. Ryan Rickelton can make his IPL debut after stellar show in SA20 2024
SA20 season two good has not been that great for MI Cape Town. However, their opener Ryan Rickelton is currently the top run-scorer. He has destroyed quality bowling attacks and scored 405 runs so far. It should not be surprising if he makes it to the IPL soon.
2. Matthew Breetzke can make his IPL debut after stellar show in SA20 2024
Durban’s Super Giants batter Matthew Breetzke is currently the second-highest run-scorer in SA20 season two. The rising star has scored 374 runs at an average of more than 40. Perhaps, he can also play for Lucknow Super Giants if needed.
3. Keshav Maharaj
Another DSG player to feature on the list is spinner Keshav Maharaj. He is an Indian origin player and has good experience of playing in India. Maharaj has scalped 11 wickets in SA20 and is the third-highest wicket-taker of the season.
4. Lizaad Williams
Joburg Super Kings bowler Lizaad Williams has had a memorable season in the yellow jersey. Williams has picked up 11 wickets in just six innings. A wicket-taking bowler like him can also play in the IPL soon if any team needs him.
