3) Faf du Plessis

The South-African quickly adapted to the role of an opener in the Chennai Super Kings’ line-up and is now one of their best batsmen in the IPL. He is also one of the safest catchers on the field, and usually gives Ravindra Jadeja a run for his money when it comes to fitness.

Even at age 36, the hunky batsman is Dhoni’s entrusted fielder in the outfield and is seen giving his 100% during the games. Although du Plessis has retired from Test cricket, he plies his trade in the limited-overs format and has his sights set on the 2021 and 2022 T20 World cup.
