Marco Jansen delivered his best-ever bowling performance in Tests by rattling the Sri Lankan batting order to help the Proteas bundle the visitors out for a paltry score of 42 runs in the second innings of the ongoing South Africa vs Sri Lanka Test at Kingsmead, Durban. The South African bowling allrounder recorded figures of 7-13 in 6.5 overs. Jansen’s seven-wicket haul caused Sri Lanka to record their lowest-ever total in Test history. Notably, Jansens’s best-ever Test bowling performance comes only four days after he secured a ₹7 crore deal with Punjab Kings at the IPL 2025 mega auction.
Marco Jansen wreaked havoc as Sri Lanka could only last 83 balls, the second-shortest in Test history. While Jansen tore through Sri Lanka’s batting order with seven wickets, Gerald Coetzee took two and Kagiso Rabada started the attack with a wicket.
Jansen on song!🎵
Marco meant business, and took NO prisoners as he bull-dozed the Sri Lanka batters to get career-best Test Match figures of 7/13😃😎🇿🇦
