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.

His mother Ina Rynners is a homemaker, while father Francois du Plessis was a popular rugby player in the 1980s, having played in the centre position for Northern Transvaal.

While there’s not much information available regarding the reason, Faf’s parents were separated when he was mere three years of age, post which he stayed with her mother while he grew up.

The 38-year-old also happens to be a second cousin of Namibian rugby player Marcel du Plessis.

Faf du Plessis was fortunate enough to have shared a lovely bond with her younger sibling Rhemi Rynners (sister) and Cronje Wentzel (cousin brother).

While much information on the web is not available with regard to his cousin, his sister Rhemi, who’s six years younger than him, is a businesswoman from 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.

For those unaware, Imari is a photographer by profession.

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.

Gurpreet Singh is a Cricket writer at The Sportsrush. His platonic relationship with sports had always been there since childhood, but Cricket managed to strike a special, intimate nerve of his heart. Although his initial dream of playing the sport at the highest level couldn't come to fruition, Gurpreet did represent the state of Jharkhand at the under-14 level. 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). Soon after and since 2019, he has been working at The Sportsrush. Apart from sports, he takes keen interest in politics, and in understanding women and gender-related issues.
