The IPL 2022 Mega Auction happened last weekend, where the Royal Challengers Bangalore signed former South African cricket team captain Faf du Plessis. For the first time in their Indian Premier League career, Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli will play together.
Many fans were surprised to see the Chennai Super Kings not bid aggressively for him. Faf du Plessis had been with CSK for many years. In fact, he was the second-highest run-scorer for the team in their IPL 2021 championship win.
Nevertheless, the auction dynamics are such that even if a team wants a particular player, they cannot sign him because there are nine other teams who can spoil the party. Faf is in top form, which has raised the excitement to the next level among all the Royal Challengers Bangalore fans.
Recently, a fan-made an edited picture of Virat Kohli batting with Du Plessis in the Royal Challengers Bangalore jersey. The photo has gone viral on social media. Even the official account of the RCB 12th Man Army shared it on their Instagram handle.
“Nothing here, just a picture from the future,” they captioned the photo, which has already received more than 50,000 likes.
The fans have lauded the editor of the photograph because he has taken care of every detail. Even the title sponsor on the jersey has been changed to Tata IPL, which shows perfection.
Can Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis help Royal Challengers Bangalore win IPL 2022?
Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis are two players who are considered by many as the finest batters across all formats. They are among the top-scorers in the IPL as well, which is why the expectations will be high from this duo in IPL 2022.
It will be interesting to see how the duo performs and if they can help the Royal Challengers Bangalore win their first-ever Indian Premier League championship.
