Faf Du Plessis said that although Gautam Gambhir is the 'villain in the story' for his opponents, the India head coach has played an unique role for Indian cricket.

This IPL season will be a make-or-break one for Pant, who was catapulted to stardom in the late 2010s through this league and his sensational 360-degree hitting.

Former Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) captain Faf du Plessis criticised Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) star Rishabh Pant, who was bought by the team for Rs 27 crore.

Former South Africa player has opposed the idea of sending Chennai Super Kings (CSK) stalwart MS Dhoni up above the batting order in the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026.

Rishabh Pant became the most expensive player in the tournament's history last year when LSG secured the wicketkeeper-batter for Rs 27 crore.

Samson was traded in from Rajasthan Royals (RR) to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) ahead of the IPL 2026 auction in a major move.

The India star played a big role in the team's narrow seven-run win over England in the T20 World Cup semi-final.

Former South Africa captain Faf du Plessis said that the outcome of a T20 match is often shaped in the opening overs, stressing that teams that lose the powerplay frequently struggle to recover.

Once labelled as one of the biggest prospects in world cricket, Babar Azam is facing criticism left, right, and center for his T20I batting style of late.

At 41, Faf du Plessis, the former South African captain is still going strong and is hungry to play and perform
