This article covers all details of Faf du Plessis’ IPL stats and records against RR (Rajasthan Royals) ahead of the RR vs RCB match 72th in IPL 2024.
Faf du Plessis has been a consistent batter in Indian Premier League history. He made his IPL debut in 2011 for CSK and played with them until 2021. In between, he also played for Rising Pune Supergiants in 2016 and 2017. Du Plessis won three titles with CSK before joining Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2022.
With his experience and leadership qualities, RCB made him the captain in 2022, and here he is leading the side in the ongoing IPL 2024. However, his numbers and the team’s performances have been very bad in 2024. But one good match and one good inning can change everything. Du Plessis has only scored 65 runs in four innings at an average of 16.25, which is not what fans expect from him.
But he is one of the biggest match-winners for his team, and a lot will depend on how he performs in the coming game for his team. He will be back in action in the next game for RCB, which will be held on Wednesday (May 22) against the inaugural season winner Rajasthan Royals at Narendra Modi Stadium.
Du Plessis has a lot to prove, and as a captain, he needs to take his team to a win. So we can expect a better performance from the RCB skipper, and why not? He has good numbers against RR, so he will be confident enough heading into match no. 72 on Wednesday.
