Young Mumbai Indians and South African batter Tristan Stubbs became the talk of the town at the SA20 inaugural player auction for the 2023 season on Monday (September 19). Stubbs became the costliest buy at the SA20 Player Auction by a mile, going to Sunrisers Eastern Cape for Rs 4.1 crore (R9.2 million) approximately. But what won the fan’s heart was Sunrisers Hyderabad owner Kaviya Maran’s reactions during the bidding war.

Stubbs, who was part of the MI squad this year in IPL, could not do anything noteworthy. But, he is highly rated in the cricketing circles as a deadly finisher and someone who is cut out for the shortest format. Stubbs has amassed 784 runs in 34 games with an average of 30.15 and a strike rate of 160.65. He has also scored four fifties in this format. It is his strike rate that franchises feel could be the game changer.

The 22-year-old is a terrific prospect for the Proteas as the youngster gave a peek at his abilities with a 28-ball 72 against England earlier this year.
