Sharing the clip, Visse captioned the post:

"I can’t believe I have known this guy for 19 years this week!!!! Here is my attempt to still surprise him 😉 #aptchallenge #iknowitsnotgreat."

RCB bid adieu to Faf du Plessis ahead of IPL 2025 auction

Faf du Plessis was released by RCB ahead of the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) auction following a three-year captaincy stint. The veteran opener will ply his trade for a new side this year after being signed by Delhi Capitals (DC) for ₹2 crore.

Du Plessis was last seen in action during the ongoing SA20 2025 where he captained the Joburg Super Kings. The 40-year-old was the top performer with the bat for his team in the season, amassing 286 runs across 10 innings at a strike rate of 138.16.

The Super Kings won four out of their 10 league stage matches, finishing fourth in the points table. Their campaign ended with a heartbreaking 32-run loss to Sunrisers Eastern Cape in the Eliminator.

While du Plessis scored just 19 runs in the knockout fixture, he grabbed the limelight for a sensational effort on the field. The former RCB skipper plucked out a gravity-defying catch to dismiss David Bedingham off leg spinner Imran Tahir's bowling in the clash.

Faf du Plessis announced his retirement from Test cricket in February 2021. However, he has yet to officially retire from T20Is and ODIs. He hasn't played for South Africa since February 2021.
