Former South African cricketer Jacques Kallis, one of the most legendary all-rounders in international cricket, has given a big statement about his country’s young all-rounder Marco Jansen. This statement of Kallis has come just before the second ODI between India and South Africa. Kallis said that the improvement Yansen has made in his batting in recent months will help him find a place among the top all-rounders in modern cricket.
Let us tell you that in the first ODI played in Ranchi, Marco Yansen had performed brilliantly with both ball and bat. After taking 2 wickets in bowling, Yansen scored 70 runs in 39 balls in batting. Earlier, in the Guwahati Test against India, Yansen had given a match-winning performance with both bat and ball.
“He’s had a great year, hasn’t he? He’s always had the potential. He just needs to understand his game. He’s obviously got it now and is finding a good balance. Yansen’s bowling has always been fantastic. In the last few years he hasn’t made the most of his talent with the bat, but he’s definitely improved on that now. He’s a great all-rounder now. I think,” Jacques Kallis said during an exclusive interaction with Indian media organized by SA20 on Tuesday. He will play a big role in SA20.”
Apart from making excellent contributions with the bat, Yansen also took 12 wickets in two Test matches against India. South Africa won this series 2-0. Kallis expects good performance from SA20 Yansen. He said, “His team (Sunrisers Eastern Cape) can use him in different roles. He is effective in the lower order but considering his batting, the team can use him anywhere. He will prove to be an excellent all-rounder.”
Kallis, who scored 13289 runs at an average of 55.37 with 45 centuries in 166 Test matches for South Africa, also expects all-round performance from Corbin Bosch. Bosch showed a glimpse of his skills by playing an innings of 67 runs and taking two wickets against India in Ranchi ODI.
