Faf du Plessis is probably the most under utilized player in the Chennai Super Kings squad. He is one of their most consistent performers yet he is often used as a backup opener who only gets a chance to play when one opener is injured or out of form.

This year his chance came because of Shane Watson and Ambati Rayudu’s poor form at the top of the order. In his very first match this season, he capitalized with a well played half century. He followed it up with another good knock in the next match.

His consistency at the top as continued throughout the tournament. In 11 matches he has played so far, du Plessis has scored 370 runs at an average of 37.

Faf is also quite useful in the field. He is a brilliant fielder who has taken some breathtaking catches this season. He is definitely a big asset for Dhoni given his batting and on-field ability.
