**Johannesburg, South Africa:** Former South African captain Faf du Plessis’s stunning 185-run innings against Sri Lanka in 2016 is once again making headlines. While du Plessis continues to play in various franchise leagues, this memorable performance from a One Day International (ODI) match highlights his explosive batting prowess.
In the fourth ODI against Sri Lanka, du Plessis smashed 185 runs off 141 balls, a knock studded with 16 fours and 3 sixes. His innings was instrumental in South Africa’s commanding total of 367/5 in their allotted 50 overs. Sri Lanka, despite a valiant effort, fell short by 40 runs, scoring 327 in 48.1 overs.
Recently released by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), where he led the team to the playoffs twice, du Plessis is now set to be a highly sought-after player in upcoming franchise leagues. Speculation is rife as to which team will secure his services and whether he will once again captain a team.
