Across 92 matches Kriel has built a profile defined by consistent involvement on both sides of the ball, averaging over four tackles and more than five carries per game throughout a substantial body of work. His try-scoring return of 31 across those appearances reflects a centre who finds the line regularly without dominating the ball, while his best individual outings — topping a hundred metres and fourteen tackles in a single match — show he can step up his output markedly when required. The cumulative mileage of nearly three thousand metres carried underlines a player who does steady, reliable work rather than relying on explosive peaks.
Born on 15 February 1999, David is 27 years old, stands 196cm (6′5″) tall and weighs 102kg.
