Faf Du Plessis played under Sarfaraz Ahmed and spoke highly about the former Pakistan captain’s passion about captaincy.
“They [Sarfaraz Ahmed and MS Dhoni] are quite different. MS is quiet and reserved.
He does most of his things instinctively on the field. Sarfaraz is the opposite and almost like Virat [Kohli] in the sense where he is always talking to the players, talking to the bowlers. Always very passionate about how he captains his team and he shows it.
There is no right and wrong way, they just have two different styles. He has obviously been a captain for Pakistan who has got the best out of his players. It is good because I always like playing under different leaders to see how they go about their business,”
he was quoted saying by Cricket Pakistan.
Du Plessis is all set to join Quetta Gladiators for the second half of the Pakistan Super League 2021, and he will be one of the key players in their squad. He has been in stellar form in the recent past. He amassed 320 runs at an average of 64.00 and had a strike-rate of 145.45, scoring four half-centuries on the trot. Quetta Gladiators will be hoping that du Plessis can carry forward that form as they look to turn around their bottom-placed ranking in PSL 2021.
