Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Faf du Plessis is mighty impressed with teammate Anuj Rawat in this IPL so far and feels the young wicketkeeper-batsman is a "future" star in the making.

On Saturday, the 22-year-old slammed a 47-ball 66 to be adjudged the Player-of-the-match in RCB's successful 152-run chase against five-time champions Mumbai Indians. "The way he's playing at the moment is beautiful...he's a very good player for the future," Du Plessis said after their seven-wicket win over MI at the MCA Stadium here.

"Comes down the wicket, shows intent, he's a very good player for the future. That's what makes the young guy so good for us at the moment."
