SRH vs RCB, IPL 2023: Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Faf du Plessis, hailed MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli and stated that he could never lead like them. Faf made his IPL debut in 2011 for the Chennai Super Kings, led by MS Dhoni. He played with Dhoni for ten years until CSK released him before the IPL 2022 auction, at which point the RCB acquired him and named him captain of their squad.

Du Plessis stated he is fortunate to have received money from powerful figures like Graeme Smith, Stephen Fleming, and MS Dhoni in an exclusive interview with NDTV.
“Very lucky to have played with leaders that I could learn from. When I was playing for South Africa, Graeme Smith was the captain there and then my first year moving to Chennai, I didn’t play one game that year but my sole purpose from the season was to learn. I would be sitting next to Stephen Fleming, asking him questions. A lot about leadership, more than he would’ve expected someone to ask,” he said.

“I was just observing MS from a distance. I was stealing from my eyes, my years about why he is so successful, what makes him so successful. Even at that stage, one of the most successful international and domestic captains in the world of cricket. It was a privilege to learn from someone like that.
But I think also something that I picked up really early on was the importance of being the leader that you are. I could never captain like MS or Virat or Graeme Smith or Stephen Fleming. I find my own way but you can look at things and incorporate from other people,” he revealed.
To continue being a contender for the playoffs, RCB must defeat Sunrisers Hyderabad in their upcoming match on Wednesday. Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli, and Glenn Maxwell, the senior trio, will once again be at the forefront of attention. RCB can be certain that these three will provide solid runs once they get rolling. RCB will be out to outperform SRH given the fact that they are already out from the playoff race.
