SA Player to miss CSK matches in IPL 2021 due to Injury?
The second-placed chennai Super Kings (CSK) may well have suffered a major setback after their star opening batsman faf du plessis suffered a groin injury while skippering the Saint Lucia Kings in the current Caribbean Premier League (CPL). In his team's last division stage match against the barbados Royals, faf du plessis was absent, with wicket-keeper batsman Andre Fletcher filling in for the South African cricketer. Despite losing the game, the Kings advanced to the semi-finals and will play the Trinbago Knight Riders in the first elimination round.
The nature of his injury is unknown, but if faf du plessis does not play in the semi-final, it might indicate that the injury is serious and could be a major setback for MS Dhoni's team, who play their opening game in the second phase of the IPL 2021 on Sunday. The Proteas batter is now the third-highest run-scorer in the IPL 2021, having scored 320 runs within only seven games.
He was a key component in CSK won five of the 7 games they played before the competition was postponed in May because of the COVID-19 outbreak. Faf has also been in fantastic form with the batting for the st Lucia Kings, scoring a century on his way to a fantastic knock of 120* and smashing 84 runs off only 54 balls in his most recent game.
