Faf du Plessis was bought by DC in IPL 2025 mega auction for INR 2 Cr.
Faf du Plessis, former South Africa and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) captain, has revealed that he has been named the vice-captain for his new IPL franchise, Delhi Capitals (DC) for the IPL 2025.
This comes days after Axar Patel was appointed as the captain of the DC franchise. Faf du Plessis was previously the captain of the RCB franchise and they qualified for playoffs all the three seasons he was the leader.
But RCB decided to move on from Du Plessis and then DC bought the ex-Proteas in the IPL 2025 mega auction for INR 2 crores.
Faf du Plessis has played for the Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL. Given his ability and experience, we expect the Proteas star to play an important part in the forthcoming season.
Faf du Plessis, South Africa's renowned batsman, has played 145 IPL matches, scoring 4571 runs at an average of 35.99 and a strike rate of 136.37 in 138 innings. He will most likely open the batting with Jake Fraser-McGurk for the Delhi Capitals, assisting Axar Patel in the leadership group.
