Faf du Plessis, a former captain of South Africa’s all-format team, has been a major influence in the Indian Premier League, having led the Chennai Super Kings.
To lead the squad when Virat Kohli gave up the leadership, Faf moved to the Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2022 after being selected by the Chennai franchise in 2011 as an uncapped player. Having spent ten years with the Dhoni-Stephen Fleming combination, Faf departed with the trade secrets that still serve him well.

As the captain of the Johannesburg Super Kings team in the Betway SA20 League past season, Faf went back to wearing the iconic yellow uniform of the Super Kings.
He conveyed his joy at returning just as the competition’s second season opened on Wednesday. Working with Stephen Fleming and MS Dhoni was Faf’s biggest learning experience; he discovered the value of doing things in a way that suits oneself.
For the ICC T20 World Cup, Faf, who hasn’t been spotted playing for South Africa in the previous three years, isn’t sure if he will rejoin the Proteas.
Although he captained South Africa in the ICC World T20 in 2014 and 2016, he hasn’t participated in the national white ball cricket team since 2020. He recently declared, “I think I can go back to playing international cricket,” but he did not say if he will retire during the T20 World Cup.
