In the absence of Akshar Patel, Fof Duplessis was made captain
Just before the crucial match between Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals, Delhi captain Akshar Patel became ill and had to be out of the match. On the basis of seniority, the team’s command was handed over to Fof Duplessis. Fof Duplessis has been the captain of South Africa for a long time, not only that, he has also captained RCB in IPL. Where his figures have been very good. Perhaps thinking this, the team had entrusted this responsibility to him, but he was not only failing the captain, but could not contribute any of his batting as well.
Mumbai hit 48 runs in the last two overs
When the team of Mumbai Indians was batting earlier in this match, the team’s score was only 132 runs after the end of 18 overs. At that time it seemed that the Mumbai team would be able to reach more and more 160 runs, but in the last two overs, Mumbai played threads. In the remaining two overs, the team hit 48 runs. Due to this, the score which looked close to 160 reached 180 runs. Here the captain took the remaining two overs lightly. He had to bear the brunt of this.
Fof Duplessis dismissed for only six runs
When Delhi was a target of 181 runs in front of Delhi, even then it was not that Delhi had lost. This score could be chased. It was expected that the captain of this match Fof Duplessis would do something amazing, but he failed. He scored only 6 runs on seven balls and went on. While chasing such a big score, if the first wicket falls quickly, it puts pressure on the team, which happened. After this, the wickets continued to fall and the result was defeated.
This season of Fof has faded

During this time his average was only 22.37 and he was seen scoring runs at a strike rate of close to 120. Only two half -centuries came to his name. Fof Duplessis, who scored 4750 runs at an average of 35.18 in his IPL career and a strike rate of 135.71, could not contribute to his team’s victory and the team was ruled out of the top 4 race.
