Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
He struggled with the rigors of first class cricket and could not seal a permanent place in the side. However, with time he grew and matured into an allrounder that South Africa were looking for after the retirement of Jacques Kallis in 2013-14. Wiese was on the tour to Sri Lanka in 2013 and made his debut in a T20 game, but after only three matches, he was sent back to sharpen his skills.
The season of 2014-15 was the best in Wiese's career. He played a vital role with ball and bat as Knights went on to win the domestic one-day competition. Wiese was recalled to the national side and made his ODI debut as well in 2015.
Wiese had the uncanny knack to vary the pace of his deliveries that helped him succeed in the shortest form of the game. The subtle changes in pace brought him career best figures - 5 for 23 against West Indies which are second best for a South African.
Consistent performances for the national side got him a ticket to the World T20 in India, where South Africa were expected to win. However, like previous ICC tournaments they found themselves unable to qualify for the knockouts.
There are plenty of other franchise teams for which Wiese has turned up, notably Barbados Tridents and Guyana Amazon Warriors in the Caribbean Premier League, while in the NatWest T20 Blast he represented Sussex. He was also picked by Benoni Zalmi in the inaugural Global T20 League draft.
Wiese was picked by the Indian Premier League franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2015 and in his first match, he picked up four wickets and scored 47, but still could not prevent defeat. He stayed with the club for two seasons before they let him go in 2017.
The lanky all-rounder was picked by Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2023 auctions for his base price of 1 crore. However, with the presence of other quality all-rounders in the team like Andre Russell, Sunil Narine and Shakib Al Hasan, it will be interesting to see if Wiese can break it through in the the playing XI owing to the restrictions on the number of overseas players.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
David Wiese joined a marked outflow of South Africa players into county cricket in the 2016-17 season when, at 31, he signed a three-year deal with Sussex, joining his compatriot Stiaan van Zyl. Wiese had not played international cricket since March 2016, and turned down a call-up for a home T20I series against Sri Lanka in making his decision to go Kolpak.
Five years later he became eligible to play for Namibia based on ancestry. He made his debut in the opening round of the T20 World Cup and helped his new team qualify for the Super 12s, winning two Player-of-the-Match awards on the way. Six months on, he was part of the Namibia side that won their first series against a Full Member when they beat Zimbabwe 3-2 in a T20I series in Bulawayo.
An imposing allrounder, with the skills to take pace off the ball, and a strong lofted drive, Wiese was a late bloomer who came to prominence in the shorter formats. He began his career at Easterns and in 2005 established himself as a regular at the provincial union and the Titans franchise.
As Jacques Kallis' career wound down and South Africa needed to look for other options, Wiese came into contention. He was taken on the 2013 tour of Sri Lanka and played in the three T20Is, but modest returns sent him back to the domestic system.
The 2014-15 summer was among Wiese's best, with impressive performances in Titans' One-Day Cup win, which helped nail down a more regular place for him in South Africa's T20I squad. A career-best 5 for 23 against West Indies in 2015 highlighted his ability to bowl cutters and slower balls. The IPL was watching: in that year's auction, Wiese was picked up by Royal Challengers Bangalore for US$460,000.
He went to the World T20 in 2016 but after failing to cement a spot, took the Kolpak route to county cricket. After a lean first season with Sussex, he improved in 2018, taking 41 wickets and passing the 500-run mark in the Championship and providing late-order impetus as his side reached the Vitality Blast final, while his breath-taking 171 off 126 balls in a 50-over defeat at Hampshire was one of the innings of the 2019 season.
