South Africa v India - 1st Momentum ODI
Faf du Plessis

The Pretoria born batsman captains South Africa and is unarguably their best batsman, now that AB de Villiers has retired. He occupies the No.3 spot for South Africa and plays the role of a Virat Kohli for them. He has had a bad time with injuries this year and it forced him to miss the limited over series against India. He also missed the initial stages of IPL.

He was instrumental for CSK and it was his heroic innings that saved them from losing the 1st qualifier against SRH. The Proteas skipper has scored 1131 runs in 22 innings at a strike rate of 94.18 and has an average of 59.52.
