Marco Bosch joins Mumbai Indians for IPL 2025 after skipping PSL 2025 due to schedule conflicts. He excelled in SA20 and recently made headlines with a strong Test debut scoring an unbeaten 81. The Mumbai Indians aim to recover from a poor 2024 season by retaining their key players and utilizing Bosch’s talents effectively.
Mumbai Indians have recently acquired Marco Bosch, who previously played a pivotal role in MI’s SA20 title-winning team, MI Cape Town. The 30-year-old fast bowler, who was a reserve for Rajasthan Royals in 2022, is set to join the IPL after being a diamond pick for Peshawar Zalmi in the PSL 2025 draft. However, his participation in the PSL is compromised due to scheduling conflicts with the IPL.
Marco Bosch left his mark during the SA20 league, taking 11 wickets in seven innings while maintaining an economy rate of 8.68. At Mumbai Indians, he will have the opportunity to reconnect with his fellow South African teammate, Ryan Rickelton. In addition to his T20 experience, Bosch made headlines recently with an impressive Test debut, scoring an unbeaten 81 batting at No. 9, the highest in this position in Test debut history.
In total, Bosch has participated in 86 T20 matches, achieving 59 wickets with an economy rate of 8.38, alongside scoring 663 runs at a strike rate of 113.33. Meanwhile, the Mumbai Indians aim to rebuild after a disappointing 2024 season by retaining their key players such as Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma, and Jasprit Bumrah for the upcoming IPL 2025.
Marco Bosch’s transition from PSL to IPL highlights his commitment to the Mumbai Indians, where he is expected to leverage his T20 experience and past accomplishments for the team’s success. With a strong core retained and Bosch’s remarkable skills, the Mumbai Indians are strategizing to improve upon last season’s performances and reclaim their stature in the league.
