The South African batsman could not live up to the standards set by him in previous seasons of the Indian Premier League.

Before playing in this IPL, Faf Du Plessis averaged around 30 but in this season he has an average of 21.25 in the four innings that he played.

Even his strike rate took a beating this season as he could only manage to score runs at a rate of 111.84. In spite of getting starts on two occasions, Du Plessis could not convert those opportunities into big ones.
