It is worth noting that du Plessis, who has been one of the consistent performers for Chennai Super Kings, was almost certain that he would be given the captaincy responsibility when Virat Kohli announced that he would step down from the captaincy after the last season after leading the team for nearly a decade. The team failed to win the IPL title under Kohli’s captaincy. Du Plessis was bought by RCB for Rs 7 crore at auction and will be available throughout the season.
The 37-year-old du Plessis, who has played 100 IPL matches so far, has scored 2,935 runs and during this time his strike rate was over 131. He scored 633 runs during the Super Kings’ title-winning campaign. last year. Du Plessis said: “I have played a lot in the IPL and I understand the different dimensions of the game. It is not easy to trust a foreign player.
