Even though there is still time for the deadline to retain the players of IPL 2025 to end. But, the next few hours are important for the decision on whether RCB will retain Faf du Plessis or not. Now you must be wondering what is going to happen in the next few hours? In fact, whatever Faf du Plessis does on the field of CPL 2024 in those moments can be seen to have an impact on the hearts and minds of the RCB franchise. Now the question is, what is going to happen on the field of CPL 2024? So the answer is the title clash between Guyana Amazon Warriors and St. Lucia Kings.

Faf du Plessis will have to do this work for the first time, then the matter will be resolved!

Last season, Guyana Amazon Warriors won the CPL title for the first time after a wait of 11 years. This time he is again in the finals. That means they are playing their second final back to back. Obviously he will try his best to defend his title. All St Lucia Kings, captained by Faf du Plessis, have to do is to spoil the colors of Guyana Amazon Warriors. St. Lucia Kings is playing its third CPL final this time. However, this is the first CPL final of Faf du Plessis as captain. Now, if he wins the first CPL title under his captaincy, then he can have both heads and tails.

Not only captaincy but batting can also have a big impact.

If St. Lucia Kings wins the CPL 2025 title under the captaincy of Faf du Plessis, then it will send a big message to Du Plessis's franchise RCB before the retention of IPL 2025. RCB may then consider retaining Du Plessis as captain. However, captaincy alone will not be a reason for RCB to retain Faf du Plessis in CPL. Apart from this, there is also the batting of Faf du Plessis. 40-year-old Faf du Plessis has scored 384 runs in 11 innings of CPL 2024 at a strike rate of 148.83.

Current form and strong performance for RCB

Faf du Plessis has been with RCB for the last 3 IPL seasons. And, every time he has scored more than 400 runs. In such a situation, his current form in CPL and performance on the IPL pitch may force RCB to think about keeping him in the team. AB de Villiers, who is close to Virat Kohli and has played for RCB, is also of the opinion that Duplessis should remain in RCB.
