MI Cape Town formed a strong team for the first season of SA20. However, the team was not able to leave a mark on the field. Nevertheless, they can still make a strong comeback in the second season. Incidentally, three of the strong players of MI Cape Town also play together for Punjab Kings in IPL. Here, we take a look at the list of three MI Cape Town players who will play for Punjab Kings in IPL 2024.
1) Sam Curran
Sam Curran was one of the first picks for MI Cape Town. However, it was a tough outing for him in the first edition. Nevertheless, he has the age to develop further.
PBKS broke the record last year to sign Sam Curran. He could not justify the price tag in IPL 2023. That said, he now has Harshal Patel in the death overs and Curran could turn up with less pressure. Hence, IPL 2024 could be his season.
2) Kagiso Rabada
Signing a domestic name as big as Kagiso Rabada was possible only for a team like MI Cape Town. He was decent for the team last season. Now, he is in even better form.
Punjab Kings had decided to build their bowling attack around Rabada at IPL 2022 Auctions. It was a good move but so far, the decision is yet to pay dividends. PBKS has had a decent bowling attack in recent years. It needs to be seen if Rabada can contribute more in the upcoming season.
3) Liam Livingstone
Liam Livingstone is one of the MI Cape Town players who will play for Punjab Kings in IPL 2024. Livingstone was also one of the first picks for MI Cape Town.
PBKS also paid a huge sum to sign the all-rounder. While he did well in IPL 2022, injury issues left him in inconsistent form last year. If used well, he can have a strong impact in IPL 2024.
