In America's T20 league MLC 2024, a batsman has created havoc. When this batsman comes to the crease, the bowlers get confused, their line-length gets spoiled. We are talking about Faf du Plessis who is captaining Texas Super Kings in Major League Cricket. This right-handed batsman played an innings of 72 runs in 47 balls against MI New York in the eliminator match. On the basis of his excellent innings, Texas Super Kings won by 9 wickets and qualified for the Challenger match.

Duplessis dominated

Du Plessis may have turned 40, but this South African player is still scoring runs at a rapid pace.

Du Plessis is at the top in terms of scoring runs in Major League Cricket. This player has scored 375 runs in 7 matches so far. Du Plessis' batting average is 53.57 and the big thing is that his strike rate is also around 170. Du Plessis is also the player who has hit the most sixes and fours in this tournament. So far, 22 sixes and 36 fours have come from Du Plessis' bat.

Duplessis does not get a chance

While Du Plessis has done wonders in Major League Cricket, on the other hand, he did not get the respect he deserves in the South African team. Du Plessis retired from Test cricket in 2021 but he was keen to play in T20 and ODI formats. However, the South African selectors did not give him a chance in any format.

Du Plessis must be hurting somewhere that he did not play the T20 World Cups of 2022, 2024 and South Africa did not give him a chance in the 2023 World Cup as well. Well, now Du Plessis's goal will be to make his team a champion in Major League Cricket. If Du Plessis continues to score runs like this, then his goal will also be achieved.
