Chennai Super Kings star opener Faf du Plessis achieved another milestone in Indian Premier League. On Sunday Plessis completed his 2500 runs in the history of Indian Premier League. This star South African batsman completed this milestone against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Du Plessis, one of the most experienced cricketers in the modern-day game, reached there in his 244rd T20 match. Faf du Plessis is positioned among the top 50 highest run-getters in men’s T20 cricket, including matches at both the international and domestic arenas.
The batter’s career tally also includes 50 T20Is for South Africa with 1,528 runs at an average of 35.53 and a strike-rate of 134.38. The 36-year-old has been part of multiple T20 World Cup campaigns for South Africa.
Faf du Plessis has been one of the most consistent batters in an otherwise much-criticized, ageing CSK top six. In the last year’s edition of the IPL in UAE, which saw CSK suffer their first-ever league stage exit, Du Plessis was one of his team’s shining lights in the tournament with 449 runs from 13 matches at an average of 40.81 and strike-rate of 140.75.
