South Africa will be missing a trick if they don't take Faf du Plessis to the World Cup: Dinesh Karthik

I think he is ready. He is somebody who can make a difference as a leader, as a batter,” Karthik said on The ICC Review. “So I genuinely wish Faf says yes, when South Africa asks him because he will make an impact at that World Cup if he’s there.” IPL playoffs race scenarios:  7 teams fight for 3 spots Karthik also added that he’s not surprised to see Faf score consistently even at the age of 38. “I’m not at all surprised with Faf’s form because I think he’s a terrific player. He’s a very good leader as well. “In the last four, five years of IPL, he’s been very consistent and he’s just had another year where he’s been even more consistent, even more effective, even more powerful.” du Plessis has already indicated that he is open to playing again for South Africa.
