Jean Paul Duminy's talent is worth a lot; in monetary terms about $950,000, which was what the Mumbai Indians' owners shelled out to sign up the immensely talented South African batsman. In cricketing terms, he is an immensely talented cricketer, simply said, destined for greatness.
Duminy proved that he is not just another paper superstar. In IPL Season two, he was the leading run getter for the Mumbai Indians with 372 runs in 13 matches at an impressive average of above 41.33. Playing alongside and outscoring the likes of Sachin Tendulkar and Sanath Jayasuriya will only have boosted Duminy's confidence.
The Mumbai Indians won't be too far from lifting the IPL Trophy if Duminy can turn in a performance like he did in South Africa in 2009.
