Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Kwena Maphaka and Nandre Burger, all of whom were in the Rajasthan Royals squad for IPL 2025, were honoured at the CSA Awards 2024-25.
Held annually, the CSA Awards recognise the top performers of South African cricket every season.
Left-arm quick Kwena Maphaka, 19, was crowned T20 Challenge Player of the Season after a stellar campaign in the domestic tournament, which saw him finish as the joint-highest wicket-taker.
He claimed 13 wickets in seven matches at an average of 12.76 and an economy rate of just 6.03.

Fellow 19-year-old and wicketkeeper-batter Lhuan-dre Pretorius, who is enjoying a breakout season with the Proteas, swept the 4-Day Player of the Season and T20 Batter of the Season awards.
Pretorius piled up 436 runs in five first-class games last season at an imposing average of 72.66. The tally included three centuries.
In the domestic T20 league, he topped the scoring charts with 397 runs from 12 matches, striking at 166.80.
Pretorius’ rise has also extended to the international arena.
In June, he became the youngest South African to score a Test century, blasting 153 on debut against Zimbabwe, and last month struck his maiden T20I half-century – a 35-ball 51 against New Zealand in the Zimbabwe Tri-Series final.
Nandre Burger was celebrated for his express pace, clinching the Best Delivery award for the searing ball that removed Mikyle Louis during the second Test against the West Indies in Guyana.
