The way Faf du Plessis has been striking in the SA20 2023, it doesn't look like he ever went away.

Faf du Plessis no longer plays for South Africa. Who's loss is it, really?

The way the 38-year old has been going, not only in the SA20 2023, but since he stopped playing for the country, you can't help but think how much better South Africa could have done over the last couple of years, if only things could have worked out between the CSA management and the special batter.

Faf du Plessis is currently the top run-scorer for Joburg Super Kings with 369 runs at a strike rate of 148. He has struck 14 sixes and 36 fours. Kings' next top scorer is Leus du Plooy who has just 168 runs.

It is courtesy of Faf that Joburg Super Kings find themselves at the 2nd spot in the SA20 2023 points table with 5 wins from 9 matches.

The stylish batter recently brought up a delightful 92 against Eastern Cape, hot on the heels of his 113* against Super Giants which was also the first-ever century of the SA20.
