Off late Faf du Plessis has played a very crucial role for RCB in a limited capacity. He has only taken the field while batting. With his waist and back injuries, Faf is still unable to field for his side. Therefore for the past couple of games, Faf de Plessis has been played as the Impact Substitution for his side.
Faf has only batted for his side which he has done brilliantly so far giving RCB a good start along with the likes of Virat Kohli and Glenn Maxwell. Meanwhile, he took no part in the field, while a junior player has replaced their skipper.
