South Africa’s Test skipper Faf du Plessis is currently playing for the Paarl Rocks in the ongoing edition of the Mzansi Super League (MSL). On Sunday, he left the presenter in splits with his frank answer to a question pertaining to why a teammate will be sitting out of a Mzansi Super League (MSL) game.

At the toss of a match between Paarl Rocks, of which Du Plessis is the skipper, and Nelson Mandela Bay Giants, Du Plessis was asked about the team changes at the toss.

As part of the team news, Du Plessis said that fast bowler Viljoen won't be playing. “Hardus Viljoen not playing today because he's lying in bed with my sister as they got married yesterday,” said Du Plessis, leaving the presenter in splits.

Viljoen tied the knot with Du Plessis' sister Remi Rhynners on Saturday, whom he was dating for almost a year.


After putting to bat first, Du Plessis’ team rode on a brisk innings from wicketkeeper Kyle Verreynne, who hammered 36 runs in 20 ball, to take his side’s total to 168/5 in 20 overs. Nelson Mandela Bay Giants, in reply, could only muster 156/6 in 20 overs, despite Heino Kuhn hammering 58 runs in 43 balls.
