Hardus Viljoen (South African Cricketer) Wife, Weight, Height, Age, Records and More

One of South Africa’s many pace sensations, Hardus Viljoen stands today as a T20 specialist bowler known to choke any batting lineup on almost any surface with the shear pace he generates with his 6’4″ body. After playing just one test for South Africa, Viljoen decided to move on and settle for a future in English domestic circuit when he signed a Kolpak contract with Dervyshire in 2016. He has been in red hot form of late and will look to continue it when he debuts for the Kings XI Punjab in IPL 2019.
