South African cricketer Corbin Bosch is making his much-awaited Indian Premier League (IPL) debut for Mumbai Indians (MI) in the ongoing match against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.
Bosch, a right-arm fast bowler and right-handed middle-order batter, brings a wealth of experience to the MI squad. With 86 T20 matches under his belt, Bosch has taken 59 wickets and scored a highest of 81 runs. His IPL debut comes after a highly successful domestic and international career.
Bosch’s cricketing journey includes a key role in South Africa’s 2014 U-19 World Cup win, where he was named player of the match for his brilliant 4/15 in the final. Bosch’s consistent performances have earned him a spot with the Proteas, having debuted in 2024. He was also instrumental in MI Cape Town’s SA20 title-winning season earlier this year, claiming 11 wickets.
