We wanted to finish the first place – FAF DU DU PLESSIS
Opting for Bowl first, DC allowed PBKs to publish a huge score of 206/8 on the board with Mustafizur Rahman (3/33), Vipraj Nigam (2/38), Kuldeep Yadav (2/39) and Mukesh Kumar (1/49) collecting doctors.

During the subsequent presentation to the game, FAF du Pessis said they intended a first four place to IPL 2025, but the fifth place reflects how his campaign went. Said:
“It’s really important. We wanted to finish the top four, but ending in the top five was a just reflex about us.”
IPL are young boys and domestic players – FAF du Pessis
While talking about where the campaign was wrong, Faf du Pessis said he is “one of the great mysteries.” Explained:
“It’s one of the great mysteries, we tried to answer this question sometimes in the locker room. Trust, lack of runs, when you play well, get the small margins. Each game that small 5-6 upper window in battles and bowling and in a great tournament like this costs us.
In the end, FAF du Pessis emphasized the importance of the representation of national players in the Indian Premier League and showering a praise in Virraja Nigam. FAF DU PLESSIS stated:
“IPL deals with young boys and domestic players, Vippy was incredible for us, not only with the ball, but it is also rare, it is rare that a leg pilot is a highly. Two or three batters in this alignment, if they continue to learn and improve, can go a long way.”
