Rising star Esterhuizen Calls for improvement from Capitals
Cape Times
|January 07, 2026
THIS season, Connor Esterhuizen has come into his own, scoring big runs across the formats and showing maturity while doing it.
CONNOR Esterhuizen of Pretoria Capitals the Betway SA20 against Sunrisers Eastern Cape at Supersport Park in Centurion.
(Sportzpics)
The 24-year-old has always been earmarked as one to watch for the future because of his explosive game in the shorter formats of the game.
Last season, when he played a key role in MI Cape Town winning the third edition of the SA20, he lived up to those expectations, especially since he had the big shoes of Nicholas Pooran to fill as a first choice wicket-keeper batter.
This season, the right-hander has taken his game up a notch, smashing big scores domestically for the Lions including a double century and a couple of centuries in the first-class cricket, showing his class and what he can achieve in the future.
