Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are all set to face Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the 22nd match of the ongoing IPL 2022 at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai on Tuesday (April 12).
It will be the first time Faf du Plessis takes the field against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), the franchise he represented for ten seasons, and the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) skipper admitted that playing against Ravindra Jadeja-led CSK would be awkward.
Du Plessis said that he felt better when meeting his former CSK teammates on Monday, but it was an awkward moment to train in Mumbai in different groups.
Faf du Plessis told the RCB website: “It's better than how I felt during the first practice when we got here with the same team. It felt a little awkward. But now that the tournament has been happening and things have unfolded the way they have, I think it's going to be a cracker. I know, having been on the other side, CSK vs RCB is a massive game.”
CSK has lost all four matches that they played so far in the ongoing IPL 2022, but the RCB skipper said that they came never write off the Men in Yellow and is hoping for a great contest on Tuesday.
The skipper added, “I think we are playing some nice cricket at the moment. We have got a bit of form going on at the moment. We also know that Chennai is a team you can never write off. They have got some incredible cricketers there. So it will be a great game, looking forward to it.”
Du Plessis signed off by saying, “In theory yes, you know all the players well. But the flip side is they know my game very well as well. But it helps that you know a little bit more about their strengths.”
