Faf du Plessy is a big player, he heard and seen. He is also a big captain. But they are big liver. This was seen in Major League cricket being played in America. Faf du Plessi, captaining Texas Super Kings in the match against Seattle Orcas, set an example not only for his team but also for world cricket. Forgeting the century, records, all the people needed to do what they did for the team. He was not less than any big sacrifice. Rarely ever before, a player has been seen getting out of a century and retired out. But Du Plessi surprised everyone by taking that decision in the team interest.
Duplessi out for 91* run
Texas Super Kings captain Faf du Plessi decided to retired against Seattle Okas when he was playing 91 runs with the help of 6 fours and 4 sixes off 52 balls. Meaning when everyone was expecting his century, something else was going on in his mind. He was thinking of team interest, not his century or record.
It was not that there was no balls left in front of Duplassi to complete their century. The last over game was left in Texas Super Kings innings. If duplecy wanted, he could have written a script of another T20 century by playing that over. But he considered himself more important in the team’s favor to give himself a chance to retired himself 9 runs before a century.
Setturk-riddled all forgetting and sacrificed
If Faf du Plessi had scored a century against Seattle Okas, then this MLC would have been his third century in 2025. Earlier, he has scored a century against San Francisco Unicorn this season while 52 balls against Mumbai Indians New York. Not only this, he also had a chance to become the third highest century batsman in T20 cricket. In this case, he would match Riley Russo. However, he did not even think about all these records before retired out.
Du Plessi scored more than 400 runs
Faf du Plessy MLC, who was out retired by playing an innings of 91 runs against Seattle Orcas, has now become the highest run -scorer in 2025. He now has an average of 51.12 in 9 innings of 9 matches and 409 runs at a strike rate of more than 175.
