His enthusiasm is so contagious that you can’t help but feel it. It also inspires you to always put up your best effort.

Knowing the cricket player and the person behind the cricket player has been wonderful. He has a huge heart and is very giving. like me, also a family-oriented person. We have developed a close friendship. We have a lot of similar interests, like family values, enthusiasm, and body art,” the South African stated.
