Shoaib Akhtar, a former Pakistani fast bowler, claimed that he doesn’t see anything exceptional about the player as a captain in the IPL 2022.
After Virat Kohli announced his decision to resign as captain of the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) after the conclusion of the 2017-18 season, speculation arose as to who the team’s next captain will be. In contrast, Faf du Plessis was purchased by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) ahead of the current Indian Premier League (IPL) season. In addition, he was named captain of the squad by the organization for the remainder of the current season. Since the start of the season, RCB has won one game and lost one.
This season, Du Plessis, in particular, has been much praised by fans and the cricketing community for his batting and leadership.
Former Pakistan bowler Shoaib Akhtar, meanwhile, believes that du Plessis lacks leadership qualities.
“Now that Du Plessis has taken over the reins after Virat stepped down as leader, he may lead however he sees fit. The captaincy of Faf du Plessis does not excite me, and I am not a huge fan of him “During a conversation with Sportskeeda, Akhtar revealed this.
The cricketer has a case to prove, according to Akhtar, who claims that du Plessis doesn’t appear sharp as a skipper on the outfield.
“Faf, on the other hand, is trying to make a point. He doesn’t always look his best when he’s in charge. Let’s see if he can resurrect the fortunes of a large franchise that he has been given the task of heading “he went on to say.
On one, RCB came up short against the Punjab Kings, but on the other, they battled back to defeat the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
