Faf Du Plessis has improved this trick through IPL, revealed himself
Mumbai Faf Duplesey’s opening partner Virat Kohli has been criticized in some quarters for his approach in the middle overs but the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) skipper is satisfied with his game as he is able to score runs at a better strike rate when required. Are. In the current tournament, Du Plessis is currently the ‘Orange Cap’ holder with 511 runs in 10 matches. He has scored at a strike-rate of 157.72 while his career strike-rate in IPL is 133.58 in 126 matches.
In a conversation with ‘RCB Bold Diaries’, Du Plessis said that since the beginning of the tournament, his focus was on playing with a high strike rate and now he wants to play big innings for RCB. The RCB captain said, “I am really trying to score a century, in the middle overs I can score quickly and take the innings to a good score because we scored more than 75 runs in the middle overs. Duplesey’s boundary numbers have improved as he has hit 40 fours and 29 sixes in 10 matches so far and has certainly been more effective than ‘King Kohli’ in the middle overs for RCB.
“In the past I always felt I had a good attacking game but I felt I was capable of taking my strike rate from 130 to at least 150 and then 160-170 at times so I worked on that,” he said. RCB are currently fifth in the table with 10 points from 10 matches and will look to register a win against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday to keep their play-off hopes alive.
