So far, as a captain, he has played both century and half-century innings. Runs have piled up. But, now the question is what will happen next. Will Faf du Plessis be fully fit by the start of IPL 2021? Will he be ready to score runs in IPL like CPL?
If Du Plessis becomes fit, then CSK’s troubles can increase if he is not well because the South African batsman had batted well in the first phase of IPL. By the end of the first phase, he was at number three in the list of IPL 2021 runners. In the second phase, too, he is a big hope for the team with the yellow jersey.
