South Africa all-rounder Marco Jansen smashed a no-look six off India’s left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja on Day 2 (Sunday, November 23) of the second Test match at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. The right-handed batter nonchalantly deposited Jadeja’s delivery over the deep midwicket fence.
South Africa started the second day at 247 for 6, with Senuran Muthusamy and Kyle Verreynne at stumps. The batters played through the first session without losing a wicket. However, Jadeja broke the 88-run stand by dismissing Verreynne in the second session. Jansen came to the crease at No. 8 in the first innings.
Marco Jansen Launches No-Look Six Off Ravindra Jadeja
Marco Jansen showed aggression against the Indian spinners from the start. On the third ball of the 123rd over in South Africa’s innings, Jansen stepped forward to a fuller delivery, cleared his front leg, and used his long reach to generate enormous power.
Your daily dose of cricket!
The right-handed batter struck the ball high and straight over the long-on boundary. The shot travelled around 84 metres, showing his intent to take on the bowling early in his innings.

South Africa Tighten Their Grip on the Second Test vs India
South Africa tightened their grip on the second Test. Senuran Muthusamy and Kyle Verreynne added an 88-run partnership for the seventh wicket. Muthusamy converted his start into a composed century, while Marco Jansen smashed a half-century.
At the time of writing, the Proteas were 428/7, with Muthusamy (107) and Marco Jansen (51) at the crease. Kuldeep Yadav has been India’s best bowler, claiming three wickets amid a difficult outing for the hosts.
Earlier, on Day 1, Tristan Stubbs scored 49 runs while captain Temba Bavuma added 41. Openers Aiden Markram (38) and Ryan Rickelton (35) gave a solid start by adding an 82-run stand.
With a 1-0 lead already in hand after their 30-run win in Kolkata, South Africa now eye a rare Test series victory in India. They haven’t secured a series victory in India since the 1999/2000 tour.
