Faf du Plessis, the former Chennai Super Kings star opener who gained fame with the Men in Yellow, kept ruling hearts even after he retired from international cricket. He has played for the Royal Challengers Bangalore as their captain.
The Royal Challengers Bangalore had released their full squad ahead of the IPL 2025 mega-auction; hence, Faf du Plessis was back on the auction table, and the Delhi Capitals seemed the only franchise interested, as he was bought for a minimal price of INR 2 crores.
He has decided to take a break from the IPL and try out other options. However, the player has mentioned that this is not goodbye, but is just a break from the competition. Faf released an official statement:
"This league has been a massive part of my journey. I’ve been lucky to play with world-class teammates, for amazing franchises, and in front of fans whose passion is like nothing else. India has given me friendships, lessons, and memories that have shaped me as a cricketer and as a person."
"Fourteen years is a long time, and I’m proud of what this chapter has meant to me. India has a special place in my heart, and this certainly isn’t goodbye — you’ll see me again."
Faf to feature in PSL for 2026 season
Faf du Plessis too wishes to move to the PSL this season and says that he just wants to experience something new and also wishes to enjoy Pakistan's hospitality.
"It’s an exciting step for me — a chance to experience something new, to grow it as a player, and to embrace a league filled with incredible talent and energy.
