South African pace sensation Gerald Coetzee has taken a significant step off the cricket field, tying the knot with his longtime girlfriend, Hannah Hathorn. The 23-year-old cricketer shared the joyous news on his social media accounts, delighting fans with a glimpse of their wedding. The ceremony took place on November 29, 2023, at Elandskloof Farm in Helderstroom, South Africa.
Gerald Coetzee rose to prominence during the ICC World Cup 2023, filling in for the injured Anrich Nortje. His stellar performance earned him a spot among the top five wicket-takers in the tournament, with an impressive tally of 20 wickets in just 8 games at an average of 19.80 and an economy rate of 6.23.
Notably, he made history as the first South African bowler to claim 20 wickets in a single World Cup, surpassing the previous record held by Morne Morkel and Lance Klusner.
Here's are some pictures:
The young pacer, who has represented South Africa in 14 ODIs, 3 T20Is, and 2 Tests, has been included in the squad for the upcoming series against India. Coetzee's impactful performances, particularly in the World Cup semi-final against Australia, where he dismissed key batsman Steve Smith, have solidified his reputation as a rising star in South African cricket.
