Faf du Plessis is arguably one of the best outfielders in the cricket world right now. He has often surprised fans by making impressive catches while patrolling the boundary ropes in the Indian Premier League for Chennai Super Kings. And this season he’s already had three surprising sacks so far while we’re still in the early days at the IPL 2020.

On Friday night, he took the field against David Warner’s Sunrisers Hyderabad, who opted to hit first after winning the toss. Jonny Bairstow got cleaned up by a duck and left Warner doing all the cover-up. SRH’s boss looked cranky during his time in the fold and ultimately decided to break the shackles against Piyush Chawla.

He had already broken the leggie for a limit, but decided to spend a lot of time for a maximum. Although Warner lost the ball with the tip of his bat, he appeared to be sailing over the edge by a max. Du Plessis was on edge duty and made another surprising catch to fire Southpaw.
He caught the ball out of nowhere, but when the momentum pushed him over the edge, Du Plessis threw the ball into the air only to catch it on the rebound.
Previously, the veteran Proteas hitter took two similar catches against the Mumbai Indians at the opening of the IPL curtain this year. Despite reducing SRH to 69/4 in 11 overs, CSK failed to deliver the knockout blow and ended up losing 95 runs in the final 9 overs.
In response, the three-time champion got off to a bad start and there was no turning back. MS Dhoni came in at bat in the seventh and was undefeated in his 47 runs, while Ravindra Jadeja scored an aggressive half-century. However, Chennai fell seven runs from the target to record its third consecutive loss of the season.
