Faf Du Plessis, 41, is out for the rest of the 2026 SA20 season with a right thumb ligament tear, ending his strong start and weakening Joburg Super Kings.
Joburg Super Kings captain Faf Du Plessis, 41, has been ruled out for the rest of the 2026 SA20 season due to a right thumb ligament tear sustained while fielding against MI Cape Town on January 11.
The injury, which prevented him from batting in a 235-chase that JSK fell short of (198/5), is severe enough that surgery may be needed and he cannot hold a bat.
This setback follows Rilee Rossouw’s hamstring injury, weakening a team already ranked third with 17 points.
Du Plessis had been in strong form, scoring 135 runs in five innings at a 151.68 average, including a 47.
He has 1,029 runs in 36 innings for JSK, with a strike rate near 144 and a century, leading the team to the playoffs in each of the past three seasons without a title.
