‘Real Superman’: Twitter Praises Faf du Plessis’ Superb Fielding

Faf saved a certain boundary as Mishra smashed the ball in the air.

Chennai Super Kings are continuously taunted as a side with ‘over-age’ players in the Indian Premier League (IPL). However, Faf du Plessis on Friday, 10 May, at least for an instance, proved everyone wrong during the penultimate over of the second qualifier against Delhi Capitals.

Earlier on in their innings, Deepak Chahar missed a catch and as a result the ball crossed the ropes for a boundary. Seeing the error on the field, captain cool MS Dhoni was quick to swap him with Faf, who is one of their best fielders.

Soon it yielded into into a result as Faf saved a certain boundary off Mishra’s bat. The South African skipper was upto it with his timely jump and agility as he prevented the ball from going to the boundary.

Delhi Capitals tailenders scored 28 from the last two overs to finish at 147/9 in their innings as Twitter applauded the effort from Faf.

What a save by #faf . Saved four runs (Saved six and they took only two). Faf 4* already, even before his innings begins.
