Although it went in vain as his team couldn’t cross the finishing line against CSK.

Apart from his amazing batting, Faf du Plessis made it to the headlines of social media for another reason. The moment came when the team physio came to see Faf and subsequently, the fans were left awestruck by his unbelievable fitness and physique. Alongside that, some of the fans were also left confused after seeing the tattoo on Faf’s left side written in Urdu.

They immediately took to Twitter and came up with some interesting and hilarious reactions while praising the former Proteas batter for his fitness alongside having some questions about his Urdu tweet.

Here’s how fans reacted:

Speaking of the entire action of the match between RCB and CSK, the hosts’ skipper Faf du Plessis won the toss and decided to bowl first. Batting first, MS Dhoni’s men posted a big total of 226 runs for the loss of six wickets in the allotted 20 overs. Senior opener Devon Conway played an outstanding knock of 83 runs off just 45 balls with six boundaries and the same number of sixes; other than him, Shivam Dube and Ajinkya Rahane also played the crucial knocks of 52 and 37 runs respectively.

While chasing the target, RCB were comfortably heading to the win when skipper Faf and the star all-rounder Glenn Maxwell were batting there in the middle. Apart from du Plessis’ 62, Maxwell smashed a blistering 76 runs off just 36 balls with three boundaries and eight massive sixes.

But unfortunately, they ended up on the wrong side of the match as the Royal Challengers Bangalore lost it by a close margin of 8 runs. Tushar Deshpande and Matheesha Pathirana scalped three and two wickets respectively alongside one wicket each by Akash Singh, Maheesh Theekshana, and Moeen Ali.
