Which Cricketer is RCB Captain’s Sister’s Husband?
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.
