RCB are currently in fifth position in IPL 2023 and have won 3 out of six games they have played so far. One of 3 sides to have never won the title despite playing every edition since it began in 2008, RCB will hope to end the drought this time.??
One major factor in their success has been skipper Faf du Plessis. Not just as a leader, but the man has been in phenomenal form with the bat. The numbers certainly do him justice.
In six innings, Du Plessis has scored 343 runs at an average of 68.60 and also surpassed fifty 4 times. The man also has the most runs in this edition after 29 games and with 8 games left for RCB, expect some for fireworks.?
Du Plessis has proven to be a good opening partner for Virat Kohli and they have done some damage at the top of the order.?
At 38, Du Plessis is no spring chicken, but he is playing with the vigor of a man half his age. Maybe he can do what no RCB skipper has done before - win the IPL.?
Of course, the road ahead is not easy. Du Plessis will need to continue to deliver both as a skipper and batter to get RCB over the line.?
At the moment, he is leading by example and there's no reason why he cannot continue to lead from the front. ??????
