Faf du Plessis says that he is a natural leader and is enjoying his new leadership role of mentoring the youngsters with an eye on the future of the national team.

CSK has been a part of 10 out of 12 seasons of IPL and have never finished lower than semi-finals or play-offs.

Dhoni scored an unbeaten 84 in that match off 48 deliveries with seven sixes and five fours as CSK looked to chase the target of 162 after losing some early wickets. 

Du Plessis, who last played an ODI during the 2019 World Cup, had an indifferent T20 series against Australia, with scores of 24, 15 and 5.

Former South Africa captain Faf du Plessis has been rested for the three-match ODI series against Australia but Keshav Maharaj was included for the first time since 2018.

World XI and Asia XI will play two T20Is on March 18 and March 21, which have been organised by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB).

While Steve Smith saved a certain six, Faf du Plessis and David Miller combined to complete a stunning catch during the second T20I between South Africa and Australia.

Pacer Anrich Nortje was also drafted into the squad with Reeza Hendricks, Beuran Hendricks and Sisanda Magala making way for the trio.

Faf du Plessis captained South Africa in 112 international matches across all the three formats.

While admitting that the Proteas were outplayed in all the three departments by the Joe Root-led side, du Plessis felt his team lacked the most in terms of batting.

Virat Kohli, Tim Paine, Joe Root and Faf du Plessis all had their say on Test cricket being reduced to four days.

South Africa registered a 107-run victory in the first Test against England, which also ended their run of five successive Test defeats.

Faf Du Plessis is not sold on the idea of a ‘Super Series of one-day games, involving the so-called ‘Big Three of India, Australia and England and has criticised the proposal.

The Proteas skipper said that Van der Dussen will bat at No. 5 behind Zubayr Hamza at three and himself at four.

Former South African cricketer AB de Villiers could make a sensational return to the international colours.

At the toss of a match between Paarl Rocks, of which Du Plessis is the skipper, and Nelson Mandela Bay Giants, Du Plessis was asked about the team changes at the toss.

Quinton de Kock had recently captained the Proteas in the T20I series in India which ended in a 1-1 draw.

Faf du Plessis said toss in away Tests should be scrapped after India continued to pile on the runs batting first and put immense pressure on South Africa.
