With just four matches to date in the IPL, Cotzee is already proving to be an asset for the squad. With his fiery pace and the ability to swing the ball both ways and bat lower down the order, he has been a wonderful buy for MI.
Although it’s his first season in the IPL, there have been high expectations from the MI camp, as he is their frontline bowler alongside Jasprit Bumrah.
