Faf du Plessis - IPL Career Overview

Faf du Plessis has become one of the most respected overseas batters in IPL history. After joining Chennai Super Kings, he quickly earned a reputation for fearless opening stands and match-winning chases. His ability to tackle both pace and spin with crisp drives and powerful pulls turned many league-stage games in CSK’s favour. Over the seasons he developed a calm leadership aura, mentoring younger teammates while anchoring tricky run-chases and setting brisk starts in powerplays. In high-pressure finals he has showcased clutch knocks that swung momentum, helping the franchise add multiple titles to its cabinet. Later, as captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore, he brought the same composure and aggressive intent, guiding the side to playoff qualification with consistent top-order runs and sharp fielding efforts. Renowned for reading pitches quickly and adapting his game, du Plessis remains a marquee IPL figure whose experience, fitness and winning mindset continue to shape franchises aiming for silverware.

Faf du Plessis has become one of the most bankable IPL openers across 13 seasons and four franchises, culminating in his 2025 stint with Delhi Capitals. The South African has stacked up 4,773 runs at a strike rate of 135, carving 439 boundaries and clearing the rope 174 times—numbers that paint the picture of a batsman who keeps the scoreboard in perpetual motion. With 39 half-centuries from 147 innings, he has built consistency into aggression, while his unbeaten 96 remains the tantalising high-water mark just short of a maiden IPL ton. From Chennai Super Kings’ yellow to Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s red and now Delhi Capitals’ blue, du Plessis has turned every jersey into a run-making statement, proving that adaptability and class travel well in T20 cricket.
