Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain Faf du Plessis is one of the biggest players in BBL’s overseas draft.

His experience and ability to lead a side makes him a sought-after player. The South Africa legend is a specialist opening batsman and a very handy fielder who can quickly take the game away from the opposition.

He has amassed 7,608 runs in 293 T20s, comprising three centuries and 48 fifties. Multiple franchises will be in the fray for this gifted player in the BBL.
