IPL 2019: Top 5 overseas players who might be missed

#3 Faf du Plessis (Chennai Super Kings

Faf rescued CSK in crucial matches last season

The Proteas superstar was a part of the triumphant Chennai Super Kings team in the last season. Though Faf du Plessis missed a few games, he delivered some match-defining knocks when his team needed him the most.

His unbeaten knock of 42-ball-67 against Sunrisers Hyderabad when CSK was down at 92 for 7 chasing 140 in the first qualifier match, is one such innings. In the 6 matches he played last season, the right-hander amassed 162 runs at an average of 32.40.

With AB de Villiers' retirement, there will be a lot of responsibility on Faf's shoulders at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. He along with Hashim Amla and JP Duminy has to bear the burden of South Africa's batting in the tournament. Thus, Cricket South Africa might want their key player the much-needed rest going into the prestigious tournament.
