Faf du Plessis turns 42 years old on Monday, July 13. It has been more than five years since the right-handed batter played for South Africa. However, he is still a force to be reckoned with in franchise leagues around the world. Du Plessis was exemplary in all three formats for the Proteas. In T20Is, he played 50 matches, amassing 1528 runs at an average of 35.53 and a strike rate of 134.39. This includes 10 fifties and one century. In this article, let’s take a look at the top three T20I performances for the legendary batter.

Faf du Plessis is undoubtedly one of the finest cricketers to have played for South Africa. The former Proteas captain is still churning out runs in franchise leagues around the world. Du Plessis, who is currently in the United States of America, is captaining the Texas Super Kings in the Major League Cricket 2026. He celebrates his 42nd birthday on Monday, July 13. To celebrate this auspicious occasion, let’s take a look at the legendary batter’s top three performances in ODI cricket.

Faf du Plessis had already made a big name for himself in international cricket before entering the Indian Premier League. He started his career in the cash-rich tournament with the Chennai Super Kings in 2012, but did not play the next season. However, he returned to the side in 2014. In his first three seasons with CSK, du Plessis ensured 300-plus run stints in each of the editions, but the franchise was suspended in 2016 and 2017, enabling him to join Rising Pune Super Giant for these two years, with majority of his CSK compatriots still by his side.

The final of the 2002 NatWest Trophy is a moment etched in the folklore of Indian cricket for various reasons. A solitary One-Day International with so many moments and sub-plots woven together created one of the most iconic matches that the sport has ever seen. A young and spirited India side, led by the spunky southpaw Sourav Ganguly, took on a dominant England in a packed cauldron that was Lord’s, with records not in their favour. Of the nine series finals India had played since 1999, they had lost eight, with the ninth one being abandoned.

Back in the 1970s, the One-Day Internationals emerged as a new format in the game of cricket. Traditionally, 60 overs were given to each side. With roughly a year to go for the first-ever Men’s ODI World Cup in 1975, India entered the field at the Headingley in Leeds to play their maiden one-day match, facing England.

Faf du Plessis is one of the most recognisable names in the modern era. A versatile batter and gun fielder, he is considered one of the greatest South African cricketers to grace the game in the post Jacques-Kallis era. He formed part of a solid Protea core, which competed for each and every trophy and established the nation as a solid threat in all formats. The high backlift, solid defence, merciless pulls and exquisite inside-out lofted drives are hallmarks of one of the most elegant and destructive batters of the modern cricketing world. Still going strong as a franchise league journeyman, aged 41, du Plessis is one of the most storied cricketers to come out of a generation of stars in South Africa.
