Faf scored 86 off 59 balls as CSK posted 192/3 batting first. He was ably supported by Ruturaj Gaikwad at the top and Moeen Ali and Robin Uthappa in the middle order.
Meanwhile, Cricket South Africa has found itself in trouble after they missed Faf Du Plessis’ name while wishing CSK on their fourth IPL title. “congratulations @lungi ngidi on claiming the IPL title with Chennai Super Kings”.

Seeing this post Faf Du Plessis replied “really???” to their Instagram post, but it contained the shock and anguish that the statement caused. Meanwhile, Dale Steyn slammed the CSA for missing out on the names of not only Du Plessis but also Imran Tahir who is also a part of CSK since 2018.
“Who’s running this account? he wrote. “Last I checked Faf isn’t even retired, Imran isn’t retired, both these guys have given years of service to CSA and they not worth a mention? Disgusting” replied Steyn on the Instagram post.
