Dwaine Pretorius IPL profile: South African all-rounder who proved his worth as a death-over enforcer for Chennai Super Kings in 2022 and 2023. Across seven bowling innings Pretorius claimed six wickets at an impressive strike-rate of 25.00 balls per scalp, twice striking twice in the same over to derail batting sides. Operating at a challenging economy of 9.52 on Chennai’s spin-friendly tracks, he still managed to keep the lid on totals when it mattered most. With the bat Pretorius showcased rare hitting power for a lower-order player, smashing three sixes and three fours in only 28 balls faced. His unbeaten 22 off 12 against Royal Challengers Bangalore remains his IPL high-water mark, finishing that cameo at a blazing strike-rate of 157 – the kind of late-innings acceleration MS Dhoni trusts. After two productive seasons in yellow, Pretorius has built a reputation as the reliable overseas seamer who can swing momentum with both ball and bat in the pressure cooker of IPL knockouts.
