The Kolkata Knight Riders bought him in the mini-auction for the IPL 2019. Affected by an injury once again, Nortje was ruled out of the IPL before the commencement of the tournament, this time due to some shoulder trouble. He wasn't picked in the 2020 auctions but

Delhi Capitals at the final moment named Nortje as replacement for England allrounder Chris Woakes for IPL 2020.
