2. Faf Du Plessis

The South African batsman recently stepped down from captaincy and was looking to focus on his batting and the development of the South African team. Du Plessis has been the part of CSK since 2011 and has played some brilliant knock for CSK with the innings against SRH in the Qualifier of 2018 edition being at the top.

In IPL 2019, the 35-year-old batsman played 12 matches for CSK. He scored 396 runs at an average of 36.00 and a strike rate of 123.36. The Pretoria-born superstar recorded three half-centuries during the previous season.
