Dinesh Karthik on Du Plessis possible return
“I’m not at all surprised with Faf’s form because I think he’s a terrific player. He’s a very good leader as well.” “In the last four, five years of IPL, he’s been very consistent and he’s just had another year where he’s been even more consistent, even more effective, even more powerful,” said Dinesh Karthik.
