Faf du Plessis is probably the most under utilized player in the Chennai Super Kings squad. He is one of their most consistent performers yet he is often used as a backup opener who only gets a chance to play when one opener is injured or out of form.

This year his chance came because of Shane Watson and Ambati Rayudu’s poor form at the top of the order. In his very first match this season, he capitalized with a well played half century. He followed it up with another good knock in the next match.
His consistency at the top as continued throughout the tournament. In 11 matches he has played so far, du Plessis has scored 370 runs at an average of 37.
Faf is also quite useful in the field. He is a brilliant fielder who has taken some breathtaking catches this season. He is definitely a big asset for Dhoni given his batting and on-field ability.

A wrestling aficionado since childhood, Sunil used to imitate his favorite wrestlers as a young kid, and started writing professionally about the sport via Sportskeeda’s revenue-sharing opportunity.
Sunil admires former world champions AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, and Kenny Omega for their ability to consistently deliver great matches as well as entertain crowds with their mic skills.
If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
Always focused on making his work accurate and reliable, Sunil thoroughly checks his facts before writing his articles. When not writing for pro wrestling, he spends his time watching cricket.
