Marco Jansen – South Africa’s Towering Allrounder

Towering South African allrounder Marco Jansen combines sharp pace with steep bounce and powerful hitting, offering glimpses of a successor to legends like Jacques Kallis and Shaun Pollock.

He holds the distinction of being the first South African cricketer born in the 2000s to represent the national team. Initially trained as a batter by his father Koos—a former rugby player—Marco and his twin brother Duan honed their skills in Potchefstroom.

Jansen toured India with South Africa’s Under-19 squad in 2019 and emerged as the top wicket-taker for North West in the provincial three-day competition that season. After a standout 23-wicket campaign for the Warriors in the 2020–21 4-Day Franchise Series, he earned a spot in the IPL with Mumbai Indians.

His Test debut came during the 2021–22 series against India, where he claimed seven wickets in both his second and third Tests, helping seal the series win in Cape Town. Three years later, he delivered a career-best performance against Sri Lanka in Durban, taking 11 wickets and earning Player of the Match honors as the visitors were bowled out for just 42—their lowest total ever.

In 2022, Jansen joined Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL, forming a potent pace trio with Pat Cummins and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Back home, he starred for Sunrisers Eastern Cape, winning the SA20 title in its first two seasons and topping the wicket charts in the second with 20 scalps. In 2025, he moved to Punjab Kings after a fierce bidding war and took 16 wickets, helping the team finish as runners-up.

Jansen made his ODI debut against India in early 2022. At the World Cup a year later, he played a key role in South Africa’s strong campaign, scoring an unbeaten 75 from No. 8 and taking crucial wickets against England, Pakistan, and New Zealand.

His contributions were pivotal in South Africa’s historic World Test Championship triumph in 2025, where he claimed four vital wickets.
