Former South African national team skipper and present Royal Challengers Bangalore captain in the Indian Premier League, Faf du Plessis was born on July 13, 1984 in the city of Pretoria.

She has a degree in fashion merchandise, and was a brand marketing professional at Supergroup – Isando, Germiston (city in South Africa). Akin her sister-in-law and du Plessis’ wife Imari Visser, Rhemi also happens to have a keen interest in photography.

Rhemi Rynners was married to South African allrounder Hardus Viljoen in December 2019, after the duo had dated each other for a year.

In fact, the news of the duo getting hitched was revealed in a rather hilarious manner by du Plessis himself just the following day of their marriage date.

Skipper of the Paarl Rocks’ in the Mzansi Super League in 2019, du Plessis informed the broadcaster regarding Viljoen’s unavailability for the match against Nelson Mandela Giants by stating that the latter is presently sleeping with his sister, as they got married just the day before.

“One change – Hardus Viljoen is not playing, he is lying in bed with my sister, they got married yesterday, so…”, du Plessis had hilariously remarked.

However, almost like taking a pledge to never let the undying passion for Cricket fade away even a tad, he made sure to continue the love relationship by assigning the field of journalism as an indirect Cupid. He thus, first finished his bachelor's in journalism and then pursued the PG Diploma course in English journalism from the Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC).
