🏏 Anrich Nortje vs Faf du Plessis - IPL Careers Overview

Anrich Nortje has been a pace spearhead in the Indian Premier League ever since his 2020 debut with Delhi Capitals, and after six seasons he now brings his 150-plus-kph thunder to the Kolkata Knight Riders in the 2025 campaign. Across 48 bowling innings the South African speedster has rattled 61 batsmen from 1,096 balls, translating to a wicket every 17.97 deliveries—the kind of strike rate that makes finishers think twice about taking him on. While economy sits at 9.07 per over, it is the raw pace and four separate three-wicket bursts that have swung matches for his sides. Though primarily valued for his bowling, Nortje has contributed handy runs when the situation demands. In 13 brief innings he has scored 49 runs off exactly 49 balls, striking at 100 and peppering six boundaries along the way; his highest score of 23 came in a pressure-cooker chase where every run counted. No half-centuries or hundreds adorn the batting card, yet the lower-order cameos underline a fearless mindset. From the blue of Delhi Capitals between 2020 and 2024, to the purple of KKR in 2025, Nortje’s journey reflects a bowler trusted to deliver in every phase of the innings. With 61 wickets in the bank and the new season just begun, fantasy managers and fans alike keep one eye on his speed gun readings and the other on his ability to break partnerships at will.


Faf du Plessis has become one of the most bankable IPL openers across 13 seasons and four franchises, culminating in his 2025 stint with Delhi Capitals. The South African has stacked up 4,773 runs at a strike rate of 135, carving 439 boundaries and clearing the rope 174 times—numbers that paint the picture of a batsman who keeps the scoreboard in perpetual motion. With 39 half-centuries from 147 innings, he has built consistency into aggression, while his unbeaten 96 remains the tantalising high-water mark just short of a maiden IPL ton. From Chennai Super Kings’ yellow to Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s red and now Delhi Capitals’ blue, du Plessis has turned every jersey into a run-making statement, proving that adaptability and class travel well in T20 cricket.
