New Delhi. Good news for Mahendra Singh Dhoni (MS Dhoni) Chennai Super Kings (CSK) ahead of the second round of IPL 2021. Dhoni’s special friend and team opener Faf du Plessis has scored a storming century in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL 2021). Du Plessis completed the century with just 51 balls. This is the first century of CPL 2021. He played this fiery innings in the match against the St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots on Saturday. The former South African captain is captaining the St. Lucia Kings in the CPL 2021 this season.
This is the first century of a South African batsman in franchise T20 cricket. Du Plessis scored an unbeaten 120 off 60 balls in this match. His strike rate was 200. He hit 13 fours and 5 sixes in this innings. That is, 2 runs were scored from the boundary only. This is his highest score in T20. Earlier in 2015, he played 11 11-run innings against West Indies. This is his second century in T20.
