Queen’s Challengers At the just concluded Indian Premier League match between Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings on Monday, April 17, Bangalore captain Faf du Plessis was in fine form with the willow and led his team from the front. However, the outcome of the game did not go as planned for the home team, which lost by only eight runs in an unparalleled run-fest.
However, RCB put forth a valiant effort in their attempt to catch the enormous total of 227. The way their captain overcame the discomfort and made a courageous effort to lead his team tantalizingly near victory was more heroic than the same. He scored an incredible fifty while batting while tightly bandaged in the abdomen.
Faf du Plessis experienced severe pain, but he didn’t let it or the challenging task at hand deter him.
Early on, he lost his opening partner Virat Kohli, who was bowled out in the first over of the run chase by CSK’s talented young left-arm seamer Akash Singh.
When youthful gun Mahipal Lomror too died without bothering the scorers, disaster hit RCB twice. Du Plessis took control of the situation and orchestrated a stunning comeback for the home team. He took advantage of every scoring chance that presented itself and formed an outstanding century stand with Glenn Maxwell.
Faf du Plessis did not show any signs of pain or discomfort when achieving a fluent fifty. He scored 62 in just 33 balls after scoring fifty in just 23 balls. In his painful knock, he managed five fours and four successful fly balls into the Chinnaswamy crowd. He nearly led his team to victory, but Moeen Ali bowled him out on the final ball of the 14th over before he could turn his knock into a match-winning one.
