South African pacers have in general performed poorly in the Indian Premier League. The only notable exception is that of Kagiso Rabada, when he was representing the Delhi Capitals. Everyone else, including Coetzee, Ngidi and even Dale Steyn have underperformed at the IPL. I guess they can't get adjusted to the batsmen friendly conditions in India. But then another question arises. How come Australian pacers such as Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins are able to perform in India?
