IPL 2021- CSK: Faf du Plessis fully recovers from concussion:
“It has been a tough three months. I didn’t expect it to take this long and I also didn’t expect it to be quite as severe. But I feel like I am at the end of it, which really is pleasing for myself,” Du Plessis said in a recent interaction as quoted by India Today.
“There’s a lot of cricket this year that I still need to play. As I mentioned earlier, missing three months of cricket is not something that is very nice. So I am just really looking forward to getting back out on the field,” he added.
The right-handed batsman was in sensational form during the first phase of IPL 2021. Du Plessis had amassed 320 runs in 7 matches at a strike rate of 145+.
