Corbin Bosch is expected to be a key player in the upcoming IPL 2026 mini auction scheduled for December 16 in Abu Dhabi. The South African all-rounder showcased his skills in recent matches, including a strong performance against India in Ranchi, demonstrating his pace, seam movement, and ability to contribute with both bat and ball. Bosch's bowling features genuine pace above 140 kph, steep bounce, and effective seam movement, complemented by his gritty lower-order batting, with a Test average of 61.25. His high-pressure performances, including five-wicket hauls and batting rescues, have earned him a reputation as a valuable all-rounder, a rare achievement for South Africans since Jacques Kallis. Several IPL teams are likely to be interested in acquiring Bosch, including Kolkata Knight Riders, Chennai Super Kings, and Gujarat Titans. KKR may target him to fill the void left by Andre Russell, offering both batting depth and wicket-taking ability. CSK could see Bosch as a strategic buy if they miss out on Cameron Green, given his all-round capabilities. The Gujarat Titans, having released Gerald Coetzee and Dasun Shanaka, may also consider Bosch to strengthen their overseas all-rounder options, leveraging his batting and bowling skills.
