Faf du Plessis made his debut against India at Cape Town in 2011. Though he started his international career with a pleasing 60, he averaged less than 30 in his first 3 years of ODI cricket. His career took off in the triangular series in Zimbabwe in 2014 where he scored a century each against Australia and Zimbabwe. He finished off the tournament with a 96 in the final against Australia that enabled South Africa to lift the trophy.
Since 2014, Faf averages 50 in the in shorter format in every the calendar year. Along with AB de Villiers and David Miller, he has become the backbone of South Africa’s middle-order. Due to De Villiers retirement, Faf has to shoulder tremendous responsibility as a batsman and as a leader in this year's World Cup.
Faf du Plessis has a lot of cricket left in him even after the World Cup. But he had his fitness issues in the past including surgery on his right shoulder in 2017. He is 34 now and it's unlikely he will around to play the next edition.
