Why is Faf du Plessis not playing in today’s IPL match?
As stated above, Faf du Plessis is not playing today’s IPL match owing to an injury. To note, the South African veteran was also not a part of the playing XI in the last clash against the Mumbai Indians. As a result, the home side has opted for the same XI that was deployed against MI.
“Would have bowled as well. There will be dew perhaps in the second innings, but now we are ready to bat first and put up a big score. Last game also we did well chasing, just a matter of a couple of overs here and there going in our favor. Need to look past the last game, but it is a learning experience. We discussed in the team meetings how we could have finished the game; we perhaps got too casual in the middle phase. Same team for us as well,” said DC captain Axar Patel.
