The Cricketing Legend
Herschelle Gibbs remains one of South Africa’s most explosive batsmen in history. His international career spanned from 1996 to 2010, during which he represented the Proteas in 90 Test matches, 248 One Day Internationals, and 23 T20 Internationals.
Gibbs etched his name in cricket history on March 16, 2007, when he became the first batter to hit six sixes in an over in international cricket during the 2007 Cricket World Cup match against the Netherlands. The historic moment, which occurred exactly 17 years ago, remains one of cricket’s most celebrated achievements.
Throughout his career, Gibbs was known for his aggressive batting style and exceptional fielding. He accumulated 6,167 runs in Test cricket and 8,094 runs in ODIs, including 35 international centuries across formats.
Life Beyond Cricket
Since retiring from international cricket, Gibbs has remained connected to the sport as a commentator and analyst. Recently, he has been actively sharing his insights on the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, providing analysis on standout performers like Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal.
Beyond cricket, Gibbs appears to have embraced leisure activities, particularly golf. Just last week, he posted about his excitement for Masters week, tagging Srixon Golf and Puma Golf in his post, suggesting possible brand affiliations in the golfing world.
Personal Connections
Gibbs maintains connections with former cricket colleagues, recently wishing Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar a happy birthday in a social media post. This gesture highlights the camaraderie that exists among former international cricket stars beyond their playing days.
The Camps Bay getaway offers a glimpse into Gibbs’ lifestyle away from cricket commitments. Known for its pristine beaches, upscale restaurants and breathtaking views of the Twelve Apostles mountain range, Camps Bay represents one of Cape Town’s most exclusive coastal suburbs.
For fans of the cricket star, this rare glimpse into his personal life showcases how the former Proteas batsman enjoys his time away from the cricket spotlight while still maintaining his connection to the sport that made him a household name in South Africa and beyond.
