Faf du Plessis
The South African T20 captain may only be playing in his maiden CPL but he also has the added pressure of being the captain of the St Kitts & Nevis Patriots. With a side that is packed with all the necessary ingredients to claim their maiden CPL title, Faf du Plessis will be looking to impress right from the start.
Faf might only be recovering from an injury that ruled him out of IPL 2016 but he has been in good form both before his injury, with the Rising Pune Supergiants and after it with the South Africa national team during the tri-series against Australia and West Indies.
Irrespective of how well he does as the captain, he will certainly provide plenty of fireworks with the bat in a side that is packed with big hitters.
