With 333 players poised to go under the hammer, the auction promises to redefine team dynamics, with 10 franchises vying to add 77 players to their ranks.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Hogg, wielding his foresight on his YouTube channel, highlighted Mumbai Indians' quest for a fast-bowling dynamo. He emphasised the need for someone to complement the likes of Joasprit Bumrah and Jason Behrendorff, asserting that Coetzee could be the missing link.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThey need a fast bowler, they have been boosted with an Indian all-rounder in Hardik Pandya. They still need someone to complement Bumrah and Behrendorff. I think they will go for Coetzee upfront, they will be hoping to get him cheaply. If not Coetzee, then they will go for Lance Morris. If MI get both Coetzee and Morris, they will be challenging Gujarat Titans because they will have a very balanced lineup,\u201d said Hogg.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Hogg felt Lance Morris could be the alternative, creating a formidable lineup that could challenge even the mighty GT.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
However, the auction drama doesn't limit itself to the shores of Mumbai. Hogg's gaze extends to the Punjab Kings, a team that grappled with fast-bowling deficiencies in the previous season, culminating in an eighth-place finish in the IPL 2023 points table.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With a critical assessment, Hogg suggested that Punjab Kings (PBKS) might set their sights on the reliable Josh Hazlewood, aiming to inject depth and potency into their fast-bowling arsenal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI don't know where they are going to go in this particular auction. One thing that they did lack last year is depth in their fast bowling. They relied on Nathan Ellis a lot and Kagiso Rabada did not really fire as well. I think they will go for Josh Hazlewood. He will be really good up there in Mohali as well,\u201d Hogg added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
As the cricketing world braces for the spectacle in Dubai, the storylines of ambition, strategy, and team dynamics unfold, promising a new chapter in the thrilling saga of the Indian Premier League (IPL).<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Chennai Super Kings won the title last season, beating 2022 champions Gujarat Titans in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ipl-auction-mumbai-indians-will-bid-high-for-gerald-coetzee-and-lance-morris-says-brad-hogg.jpg", "alt_img": "IPL Auction:' Mumbai Indians will bid high for Gerald Coetzee and Lance Morris, says Brad Hogg", "alt_title": "Kolkata: South Africa practice session ahead of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 semi-final matc", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "IPL Auction:' Mumbai Indians Will Bid High For Gerald Coetzee And Lance Morris, Says Brad Hogg On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "IPL Auction:' Mumbai Indians Will Bid High For Gerald Coetzee And Lance Morris, Says Brad Hogg, Indian Premier League: Former Australia spinner Brad Hogg has unveiled Mumbai Indians' strategic moves, predicting a keen interest in South.", "seo_keywords": "South Africa, Gerald Coetzee, Mumbai Indians, Indian Premier League, Brad Hogg, New Delhi, Former Australia, Lance Morris, Players Auction, Joasprit Bumrah, Jason Behrendorff, Hardik Pandya, If MI, Gujarat Titans, Punjab Kings, Josh Hazlewood, Nathan", "tag": "", "tagging": "South Africa, Gerald Coetzee, Mumbai Indians, Indian Premier League, Brad Hogg, New Delhi, Former Australia, Lance Morris, Players Auction, Joasprit Bumrah, Jason Behrendorff, Hardik Pandya, If MI, Gujarat Titans, Punjab Kings, Josh Hazlewood", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "ipl-auction-mumbai-indians-will-bid-high-for-gerald-coetzee-and-lance-morris-says-brad-hogg", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "1697", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2023-12-18 21:06:04", "updated": "2023-12-18 21:06:04", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "South Africa, Gerald Coetzee, Mumbai Indians, Indian Premier League, Brad Hogg, New Delhi, Former Australia, Lance Morris, Players Auction, Joasprit Bumrah, Jason Behrendorff, Hardik Pandya, If MI, Gujarat Titans, Punjab Kings, Josh Hazlewood, Nathan", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2023-12-18 21:06:04", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/ipl-auction-mumbai-indians-will-bid-high-for-gerald-coetzee-and-lance-morris-says-brad-hogg-134319" }
