Current game-changers XI in world cricket

4. Faf du Plessis (South Africa)

Faf du Plessis is another name that comes to one’s mind when someone brings the word ‘game-changers’ up. The experienced South African has been a headache for bowlers for years now, and his current form only suggests that the bowlers will have to live with that headache for a good few more years. The 34-year-old, along with Hashim Amla, Quinton de Kock and the now-retired AB de Villiers, gave South Africa one of deadliest top-order batsmen in the world, and a major chunk of the Rainbow nation’s success in recent times can be attributed to them.

Faf is a rock solid batsmen across the three format for the Proteas and no wonder he is the best active batsman in the country at the moment. He is carrying the South African on his shoulders right now and will be looking to do the same in the near future as they build the team.
