Players Bought by Joburg Super Kings in SA20 2027 Auction
While the list of JSK players bought is very small, but they have bought some impact players who can make the difference in the next season.
Jason Rowles – R2.9 Million
At just 18, Jason Rowles became JSK’s biggest auction buy at R2.9 million and a clear investment in the future. The slow left-arm orthodox bowler has shown serious batting potential, scoring 201, 85, 66 and 52 in his recent U-19 outings. In his only T20, he made an unbeaten 45 and took a wicket. He could become JSK’s trump card once he settles into the squad.
Faf du Plessis – R2.7 Million
Death, taxes and Faf in yellow. We simply never have a season without him. Across 36 innings, Faf has scored 1,029 runs, including seven fifties and a hundred, at a strike rate of 144 and average of 32.5. His return is about far more than numbers. He brings leadership, experience and the familiarity of someone who knows this Super Kings set-up inside out. Expect Faf to once again set the tone at the top and give JSK a reliable foundation.
Kieron Pollard – R1.5 Million
The biggest plot twist of 2026! After years of praying for Pollard to get out against us, we are now counting on him. At 39, the veteran brings an astonishing 14,999 T20 runs, alongside elite power-hitting, experience and leadership. His arrival significantly strengthens the middle order alongside Donovan and JSK’s new all-rounders. Pollard can absorb pressure, then completely destroy an attack in the final overs. This is precisely the kind of player who could turn competitive totals into massive ones.
Andries Gous – R1 Million
One of the auction’s underrated buys, Gous adds a proven wicketkeeper-opener with 4,036 T20 runs, 27 fifties and three centuries. He can bat long and gives JSK another reliable option at the top.
Blessing Muzarabani – R500,000
The 6’8″ Zimbabwean adds serious pace and bounce, joining Holder and Overton to form an intimidating trio of towering fast bowlers. He has 170 wickets in T20s in just 149 matches.
Dayyaan Galiem – R375,000
Galiem adds valuable lower-order depth, with 66 wickets and 898 runs from 82 T20s. A useful No.10 option who strengthens JSK’s all-round flexibility.
Jamie Overton JSK Wildcard Signing
Jamie Overton joins JSK as their wildcard signing, bringing his CSK experience to Johannesburg. The English all-rounder offers serious pace, bounce and lower-order hitting. Alongside Holder and Pollard, he strengthens JSK’s batting depth while adding another valuable bowling option.
How the Auction Buys Strengthen Joburg Super Kings
The Super Kings banked on experience, conditions, depth and versatility. The result is a bowling unit packed with height and pace, while the batting order now stretches much deeper. With Gous keeping wickets, Donovan Ferreira offering another bowling option and the batting potentially running until No.10, JSK could have seven to eight genuine bowling options. Faf and Pollard bring enormous T20 experience, while Rowles and Galiem add future potential.
What These Signings Mean for SA20 2026
Three towering fast bowlers, a marquee middle-order batter capable of clearing the ropes at will, and a proper wicketkeeper-opener, JSK have addressed some major gaps. Gous’ arrival gives Donovan Ferreira the freedom to focus more on his all-round role, while Galiem provides valuable depth. And then there is Faf, back in yellow, a top-order banker who brings consistency and experience. On paper, JSK look significantly stronger than last season. If injuries stay away, this could be a season to remember.
