Earlier these announcements were set to be made on 8th March but now they have decided to delay the announcement.
Faf Du Plessis, was an integral part of the Chennai Super Kings for many years. Now a part of Royal Challengers Bangalore after the mega auction as he is bought by the franchise for Rs 7 Cr to acquire his services.
Faf Du Plessis also carries vast experience of captaincy having led the South Africa side in all three formats including in the World Cup.
Why did Faf Du Plessis lead and not Glenn Maxwell?
One of the reasons why team management went with Faf Du Plessis and not with Glenn Maxwell. It could be a case of availability as Glenn Maxwell will not be available for the first three matches.
Despite not being named in the white-ball series against Pakistan. Cricket Australia barred all centrally contracted players from competing in the IPL until April 5, meaning the NOC will only be applicable from April 6.
