Faf du Plessis, the skipper of Royal Challengers Bengaluru, is facing a unique challenge in the 17th edition of the IPL - winning tosses. In a candid statement, du Plessis expressed the need to 'somehow win some tosses' to turn the tide in RCB's favor. Despite the team's efforts, their bowling department has been a weak spot, with du Plessis acknowledging the lack of 'enough bowling weapons.' This vulnerability was evident in a recent match against Mumbai Indians, where RCB bowlers struggled, allowing Mumbai to score at a high rate.

After a disappointing loss to Mumbai Indians, du Plessis admitted that RCB's bowlers are not up to the mark to contain opposition teams effectively. The skipper emphasized the importance of the batters stepping up to compensate for the bowling shortcomings, highlighting the team's need to rely on strong batting performances to secure victories. With du Plessis leading from the front with his resilient batting, RCB will be looking to address their bowling woes and put up a strong fight in the upcoming matches.

Faf du Plessis showcased his batting prowess by slamming his 34th IPL fifty in a recent match against Mumbai Indians. Despite RCB's challenges, du Plessis' consistent performance with the bat remains a silver lining for the team. As the tournament progresses, all eyes will be on du Plessis to lead RCB to success with his stellar batting displays.

In the IPL history books, Faf du Plessis has carved a niche for himself with remarkable performances at the Wankhede Stadium. With three of his best IPL knocks recorded at this iconic venue, du Plessis' association with match-winning innings on this ground adds to his legacy as a formidable T20 player.
