“Aate Hi Kaam Shuru Kar Diye”- Twitter Reacts As Faf du Plessis Makes A Half-Century On Debut For RCB

Royal Challengers Bangalore and Punjab Kings are currently facing each other in the Match 3 of IPL 2022 at DY Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai. PBKS’ skipper Mayank Agarwal won the toss and elected to bowl first.

Faf du Plessis and Anuj Rawat opened the innings for RCB. The pair gave a slow but steady start to the team. Both of them added 50 runs for the first wicket before Anuj was dismissed by Rahul Chahar.

Faf du Plessis initially was not able to score runs at a great pace and was 17 off 30 balls at one stage. However, as he spent more time in the middle he got his rhythm back and reached his fifty in 41 balls.

Faf’s knock consisted of 3 fours and 7 sixes. Shahrukh Khan took a brilliiant diving catch to dismiss the RCB skipper off the bowling of left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh. Faf ended his innings at 88 runs off 57 deliveries. He stitched a 118-run partnership with Virat Kohli for the second wicket. Faf also completed 3000 runs in the IPL during his knock.

Here is how twitter reacted to Faf du Plessis’ first knock for RCB:
