One of the star batsmen this IPL 2020 season has undoubtedly been Chennai Super Kings' South African player Faf Du Plessis. Faf has become a mainstay in the CSK camp and is a vital cog in their batting line-up. So far, Du Plessis has scored 365 runs in the 9 matches he has played for CSK with a healthy strike rate of 142.57 and is their leading run scorer at the IPL 2020.
Faf du Plessis, who is also quite an active sports star on Instagram, recently had a request by none other than his wife Imari. Faf's wife took to Instagram to share a photo on her Instagram story and jokingly wrote, "Let's have more babies Faf du Plessis before hashtagging #justkidding."
Faf du Plessis shared her post on his Instagram story with a rather affirmative reply saying, "I'm ready let's go!"
