IPL 2022: Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain Faf du Plessis smacked a thunderous half-century against Punjab Kings, scoring 88 runs off 57 balls with 3 fours and 7 sixes. However, the RCB skipper started off slow as he scored only 17 runs off the first 30 deliveries he faced but went on to amass 71 runs in the next 21 balls.
During his first inning as RCB captain, Faf du Plessis reminded the spectators of his countrymen AB de Villiers with a creative shot to complete his half-century. Faf smacked this six in the 13th over of the match being bowled by Odean Smith.
On the 5th delivery of the over, Windies pacer Odean Smith pitched a directionless yorker, on which Faf du Plessis moved in the crease and moved towards the off stump, and in de Villiers' style the batter went down on his knees and placed the ball above the fielder's head at fine leg for a maximum.
