Rassie van der Dussen

The 30-year-old was a spectacular performer in the last season of the Mzansi League. He scored 469 runs in 12 matches with a high score of an unbeaten 96. He has made his white-ball debuts for South Africa in 2019 so it may be about time that he made his IPL debut. His explosive batting could of good use to the teams who're struggling with their top order.

Reeza Hendricks

Another top-order batsman, Reeza made his debut for the Proteas in T20I cricket as early as 2014. He finished the last season of the league with 412 runs which included two spectacular hundreds and 20 sixes. He even made a century in his ODI debut for the Proteas which came in 2018.
