CPL 2016: 5 IPL rivals who will be playing for the same CPL team

5) Faf du Plessis (RPSG) and Carlos Brathwaite (DD) – St Kitts and Nevis Patriors Squad

Faf du Plessis and Carlos Brathwaite

South African Faf du Plessis is a master technican, representing the Rising Pune Supergiants in the IPL. Whereas, Carlos Brathwaite was on of the most expensive signings in this year’s auction and plays for the Delhi Daredevils. Faf du Plessis can be relied to be put runs on the board, irrespective of where he comes into bat in the batting order. Carlos Brathwaite is a livewire with both the bat and ball, and can single-handedly lift his side to victory.

Faf will be captaining the squad and will hope that he can rely on Brathwaite to pull a rabbit out of the hat – much like he did in the World T20 final.
