Gerald Coetzee
On scorecards: G Coetzee · Right-hand bat
Gerald Coetzee, a bowler, played two IPL seasons for two franchises.
The arrival
Gerald Coetzee arrived through the auction: Mumbai Indians paid ₹5 cr, against a base price of ₹2 cr. That debut came after going unsold three times (2021, 2022 and 2023).
That first season brought 10 matches, 14 runs and 13 wickets at 10.13 an over. It would stay the best season of the career with the ball.
The peak
The best season was 2024, for Mumbai Indians: 13 wickets at 10.13 runs an over, while the league's bowlers went for 9.37, with best figures of 4 for 34.
Franchise by franchise
2024, Mumbai Indians. Bought at the 2024 auction for ₹5 cr. 10 matches and 13 wickets.
2025, Gujarat Titans. Bought at the 2025 auction for ₹2.40 cr. 4 matches and 2 wickets.
How the wickets came
With the ball, 15 wickets in 274 deliveries, at 10.34 runs an over against a league rate of 9.40 for the same seasons: 0.93 an over more expensive than the typical bowler of the time, the price of a bowler who took wickets often. There was one four-wicket haul, and the best figures were 4 for 34.
The fielding record: 3 catches.
At the auction
Gerald Coetzee went under the hammer six times, bought twice and left unsold four times. The highest price was ₹5 cr, paid by Mumbai Indians in 2024. The market cooled over time: the last purchase, in 2025, cost ₹2.40 cr. Unsold in 2021, Gerald Coetzee was bought in 2024 by Mumbai Indians.
Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.
The legacy
Gerald Coetzee made 14 IPL appearances, the last for Gujarat Titans in 2025.
