Former South African captain Faf du Plessis is one of the finest batsmen in the world cricket. Though he has only managed to pick up two ODI wickets in the international career, Faf has managed to pick up 41 first-class wickets, 54 List A wickets and 50 T20 wickets.

In 2011/12 season, Faf created history as a bowler as he became the first bowler to claim two consecutive five-wicket hauls in T20 cricket history. On 9th October 2011, during the match against Easterns, the Northerns leg-spinner Faf managed the match-winning bowling figures of 4-0-19-5.
