Durban's Super Giants squad for SA20: Full list of players signed by Durban's Super Giants for South Africa T20 League
Durban's Super Giants roped in experienced South African batter Heinrich Klaasen (4.5 million rand) and seasoned fast bowler Dwaine Pretorius (4.1 million rand) during the SA T20 auction on Monday, September 19.
Pretorius, who proved his T20 credentials in IPL 2022, attracted interest from several franchises before Durban snatched him from the jaws of Sunrisers Eastern Cape.
Durban's Super Giants made another bold move in the wee hours to acquire the services of Klaasen after some intense bidding with the Paarl Royals.
We've just got richer, welcome HeinRICH Klaasen! 🫶

At 825000 rand, West Indian pacer Keemo Paul was a steal deal for the Super Giants. The young right-arm pacer has significant T20 experience and has also played in the IPL.
Durban made the next move to sign Keshav Maharaj (2.5 million rand) to strengthen their spin department. They also roped in Kyle Abbott (1.75 million rand) and Junior Dala (175000 rand) to strengthen their pace unit.
Ready to make the batters dance to his tunes for Durban's Super Giants is Keshav Maharaj.
