In 2025, during the Champions Trophy, cricket enthusiasts were able to witness the remarkable skill of Wiaan Mulder. The South African all-rounder displayed exceptional performances for his team, catching the attention of Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). As a result, he has been selected as a replacement for Brydon Carse in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL). This will mark Mulder’s debut season in the IPL and he has been offered a contract worth INR 75 lakh.
Mulder’s performance in the Champions Trophy 2025 was impressive, as he took six wickets in only three matches. However, even with a base price of 75 lakh at the IPL 2025 auction, he did not receive any offers initially.
Subsequently, SRH made the decision to enlist him as a replacement, acknowledging his multifaceted skills and potential to make a positive impact on the team.
