WATCH | Kolisi inspires SA20 cricketers with pep talk: 'You give people something to smile about'

There's no doubt that after the first week of fixtures in the SA20 tournament, the players on offer, both local and international, have brought fans flocking back to stadiums around the country.

An interested spectator during Sunday's clash between Durban's Super Giants and Paarl Royals at Kingsmead was Springbok skipper Siya Kolisi. 

Kolisi, who led South Africa to World Cup glory in 2019, spent time with both squads after the match and thanked them for helping bring smiles to the faces of the public even though the country was going through a challenging period.

This makes me happy. Siya Kolisi is a champ and I wish more people higher up in the country were as inspiring as he is#SA20pic.twitter.com/VEoJoP1a71
