Faf du Plessis opens up on the dynamics of farewell pertaining to Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis shared the dressing room in the last three years of the IPL, rocking the Red, Blue and Gold threads emphatically. However, RCB had to part ways with their captain for the last three years, Faf du Plessis, considering the dynamics of the mega-auction. In an exclusive interview on the sidelines of the South African T20 league, du Plessis opened up on an important question which has been doing rounds since the conclusion of the latest iteration of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Talking on what Virat Kohli’s career trajectory should be, Du Plessis said, “It's different for every player. Every player needs to answer that question himself. I remember when that time was for me, I remember for me, I didn't have the same hunger and drive for Test cricket anymore, and I felt at that stage it was definitely a good time to let new guys come in and also step into the T20 role.”
Explaining further about the dynamics of calling it a day, Faf said, “I wanted to do that when I felt I was still at the top of my game. That's very personal. No one can speak to you when that time is; as a player, you just know. I know someone like him; he is super motivated. He has gone through it all before, so he will know exactly what to do.”
As the Indian cricket fans still await the squad for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy, it is going to be interesting to see which players constitute the Indian top-order.
