Analysis: Pune squad for IPL 2016

5. Faf du Plessis:

The former CSK player will be happy to continue with captain cool by his side. Faf du Plessis has had a successful IPL so far, scoring 1081 runs from 45 matches at an average well past 30 with a thunderous strike rate of 128.23. Apart from being a solid batsman, Faf can add more value to the team through his fielding. He has taken some stunners for CSK standing at mid-on and even at the fence. With 25 catches already to his name, this South African power-player will add the much needed finishing touch to an already impressive lineup.
