In sharing his immense learning and wisdom in this book, du Plessis has made a book suitable for anyone looking to learn for life.

I have enjoyed and profited greatly from Faf's reflections and am inspired to take these insights into my personal, professional, and sporting life.

Another important team practice that Du Plessis held dear was the “no cell phone” policy for a half-hour after a game. Despite the challenges in Du Plessis’ childhood with respect to his parents’ dynamic, his father instilled the discipline and mental toughness that allowed him to successfully navigate the hurdles he faced throughout his professional career. Although these are recurring themes in the book, Du Plessis’ ability to reflect honestly on his experiences stands out.

Also, the recipient is thrilled and completely surprised that I was able to get a hold of this book. In fact, some sections can be turned into self-help material on how to introspect, acknowledge, work on and overcome your flaws.For the team to be accepted by 60 million South Africans as the national team, cross-cultural integration would be vitally important. Instead, it left Du Plessis feeling insecure about his position in the team by the end of Boucher’s first series as coach. Du Plessis adds, “I couldn’t expect Mark to prioritise soft skills and relationships in the way I did.

He also explores the destructive relationships, offering his perspective, in devastating detail, on his final years of international cricket. Faf Through Fire by Faf Du Plessis is this account from his childhood days to playing the domestic and then for the Proteas, and his long journey from debuting in ODIs to Tests, playing in IPL, World Cup, and experience with Dhoni, CSK, and RCB! Although Du Plessis showed incredible discipline in his cricket career, it wouldn’t be until he turned 26 that that discipline was also a part of his personal life. He was also disturbed to see players focused on their cell phones right after a loss to Australia because the first thirty minutes after a game, in Du Plessis’ view, are crucial for team players to connect with one another.He takes you through his mindset inside the field while playing some of his greatest and disappointing innings. As du Plessis wrote, “There are three words one should never forget or underestimate: Everybody needs love. Du Plessis assigns significant importance to the captain’s relationship with the head coach of the team. It gives good insight to the behind the scenes and politics that we don't see on screen and dives into what it's like to not only play for the Proteas but what it's like to lead the Proteas during a rather difficult time in South African cricket and sports in general.
