South African all-rounder Marco Jansen delivered a moment of pure brilliance in the Guwahati Test, smashing a stunning no-look six off the bowling of India's Ravindra Jadeja. The audacious shot, played on Day 2 of the Test match at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, has sent ripples of excitement through the cricket world.
Jansen's Moment of Magic
Coming in to bat at No. 8 in the first innings, Jansen immediately displayed an aggressive intent against the Indian spinners. Facing Jadeja in the 123rd over, Jansen stepped forward, cleared his front leg, and unleashed a powerful blow that sent the ball soaring over the deep midwicket boundary. The shot, travelling an estimated 84 metres, was a testament to Jansen's strength and confidence.
South Africa had begun the second day at 247 for 6, with Senuran Muthusamy and Kyle Verreynne at the crease. The pair batted through the first session without losing a wicket, building a solid partnership. However, Jadeja eventually broke the 88-run stand by dismissing Verreynne, paving the way for Jansen's entry.
