Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings are arch-rivals in the Indian Premier League. With the teams extending their wings in the other nations, you would naturally expect them to maintain the same rivalry. While it is hard to have the same players operating in the IPL and the other leagues, players representing each other outfits at different leagues are rare. However, that is happening. In the SA20, we have two players donning the yellow jersey who will later wear the blue hue in a few months. Here, we take a look at the list of two Joburg Super Kings players who will play for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2024.
1) Gerald Coetzee
Many expected CSK to go hard for Gerald Coetzee. Considering the team needed a good second pacer and his association with CSK, with the good purse they had, many started thinking Coetzee in yellow was a given. However, that did not happen.
Out of all the other teams, it was Mumbai Indians that signed the youngster. He is a top addition for them and will improve the team instantly. Coetzee is not only an all-phase pacer but he can also do a decent job with the bat. All of this bodes well for the future of the franchise.
2) Romario Shepherd
Romario Shepherd is one of the Joburg Super Kings players who will play for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2024. The West Indian all-rounder is a key figure for JSK. Interestingly, he was traded from LSG ahead of IPL 2024 Auctions by MI.
With the arrival of Shepherd, MI has further added brute power to the lower middle-order. With the likes of Tim David and Shepherd finishing games, junk bowling will go out of the park against Mumbai Indians. Shepherd also gives quality four overs when used well. He could even open the bowling for Mumbai Indians in some matches.
