IPL 2025: Du Plessis Needs To Be Checked By Physios For Availability Against GT, Says Axar
Du Plessis has missed DC’s matches against Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals due to an unspecified injury, whose nature has still not been made public. “Till now I was told that he can't play for three matches. He has been doing the recovery, so two matches are over. Maybe against Gujarat, he can play, but that too will have to be checked by physios as to how he is reacting to the injury,” said Axar in the post-match press conference.
Though Abishek Porel has fitted in well as an opener in du Plessis’ absence, once he’s fit, he could take the place of a struggling Jake Fraser-McGurk who has made just 55 runs in six games at a strike rate of 105.76. Axar, though, said Fraser-McGurk will still get chances to come good in future.
