Firepower du Plessis

While many star players like Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul have seemed to not be at their best form yet, the South African veteran at 36 is in the form of his life. As Chennai Super Kings are scheduled to lock horns with Rajasthan Royals on Tuesday, the CSK official Twitter handle shared a video of Faf smashing it at the nets, showing promise for another great knock.

Du Plessis’ footwork in the video is amazing to look at, his front foot looks smooth as ever and his shots have more clarity than the voice of Axl Rose of Guns N’ Roses. Moreover, Faf’s firepower is synchronous to the rock band’s energy. In the latter part of the video, Faf stunned one and all again with his back foot lofted shots to the on side, showcasing his strong leg side.

Faf could well be the dangerman against Steve Smith’s team. As ChennaiIPL wrote, it’s ‘cricgasm’ for sure! He is the ‘Thooku Durai’ of the CSK camp for his highly competitive nature and determination.

The 4th match of IPL 2020, between the Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings will begin at 7.30 PM IST at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in UAE.
