South Africa batsman Faf Du Plessis has revealed that he is enjoying the number three role and expressed his desire to cash in on his current splendid form with the national ODI squad in Zimbabwe.
Du Plessis has scored 401 runs at an average of 66 in six ODIs on the current tour, and has been the standout performer in testing conditions. He said that as he stated earlier his job is to score hundreds.
Following South Africa's 62-run loss to Australia on Tuesday, Du Plessis said that he ticked that box, but getting a hundred and crossing ones team over the line is much sweeter, Sport24 reported.
Du Plessis feels that though he is hitting the ball nicely, he can still improve quite a bit. He said that he is enjoying the number three role and thinks that it suits him a lot better than it did at number six.
Du Plessis said that the important part for him is to get big runs when one is in some sort of form. He said that the form can change really quickly, and he needs to make sure he keeps putting in big runs for the team.
