Delhi: South African star fast bowler and Jerald Koetzi, who plays for the Gujarat Titans (GT), has once again caught the way to prove himself, returning to the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. 24 -year -old Koetzi, who considered Dale Steyn as his ideal, made a brilliant debut in international cricket in 2023. He was the most successful bowler of South Africa in the ODI World Cup held in India, played a key role in taking the team to the semi -finals by taking 20 wickets in eight matches.

However, after this, he had to face the injuries of groin and hamstring, causing his career to stop for a while. However, Koetzi did not lose courage. Right -handed pace said, “Yes, injuries are disappointing, but it is part of a fast bowler’s career. Hopefully I have many years left of cricket.”

In IPL 2025, he is playing under the leadership of India’s new Test captain Shubman Gill, whom Koetzi had seen in the 2018 Under-19 World Cup for the first time.

Praising Gill’s captaincy, Koetzi said, “He is of very calm nature and supports the players. He gives the bowler freedom to express his views and takes clear decisions after small discussion when needed. This is a captain’s best feature.”

Gerald Koetzi is not only a talented fast bowler, but he is also known for explosive batting. Their passion on the cricket field is worth seeing.
