Former South African captain Faf du Plessis led Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL 2024. However, considering his age and inconsistent returns, RCB released Du Plessis to the mega auction pool.

Faf du Plessis has represented teams like Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL. Considering his ability and experience, we expect the Proteas great to play a significant role in the upcoming season.
