Faf Du Plessis is one of the finest overseas players in the history of the IPL, and after leading RCB in the last cycle, the South African is now playing For Delhi Capitals. The right-handed batter played two good knocks, which included one fifty against SRH, but he did not play the game against CSK.
Faf Du Plessis' Injury Against RCB Force Him Out Of MI Clash
He came back for the game against RCB, but injured himself in the field and is now again not playing against Mumbai Indians. Axar Patel mentioned at the toss that Faf du Plessis is injured, but now, Soorya Sesha, the cricket commentary manager at Sportskeeda has revealed that Faf du Plessis was fit to bat. So, he could have played the game purely as a batter.
Sesha stated in the pre-match interview that Faf wanted to field as well and was not ready to play only as a batter. Thus, DC had to avoid him as an Impact Player, and now KL Rahul is likely to open for the franchise in the second half.
Whether, Faf du Plessis had the fitness to bat freely and run between the wickets normally is still unknown, and the South African veteran seemed to be not ready to risk his body. It also shows the pride he has on his fielding skills, and despite being at the age of over 40, he is still one of the finest fielders in the league.
