Corbin Bosch's Special Connection With Mumbai Indians

While Bosch is yet to make his IPL debut, he isn't new to MI family. The South Africa seamer represented the Indians during SA2025 where he featured for MI Cape Town. The right-arm seamer had a brilliant season that resulted in his selection for the prestigious cash-studded Indian league. 

Bosch took 11 wickets in the recently concluded season and also contributed with the bat whenever his team was in need and it also led to MI Cape Town lifting their maiden trophy. 

"With 2,500+ runs and 150+ wickets across formats already under his belt, Bosch truly defines his all-round mettle and is gunning to make an impact in the Indian Premier League. Here’s wishing you a speedy recovery, Lizaad! 💪 The Paltan can't wait to see you back on the field!"

Although, it is worth noting that Bosch had already signed up for PSL's upcoming season that will clash with IPL 2025. Since, he went unsold in IPL 2025, Bosch registered his name for PSL drafts. Now it is to be seen how will this issue be resolved.
