After another class innings from Royal Challengers Bangalore's (RCB) South African import and regular skipper Faf du Plessis who scored an outstanding 84 against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) has been sent out for the second innings. The Proteas batter has been suffering from an injury which is causing him problems on the field.
He was replaced by right-arm pacer Vyshak Vijaykumar who impressed on his Indian Premier League (IPL) debut against Delhi Capitals where he bagged three wickets for 20 runs in his four overs.
