AB de Villiers impressed with Marco Jansen’s game
Said, this player is excellent in batting along with bowling
New Delhi. Former South African veteran player AB de Villiers is very impressed with the game of his own country’s young all-rounder Marco Jansen. AB has described Marco as one of the most promising players of the first season of the South Africa T20 League. He believes that the search for the best all-rounders like Jacques Kallis and Shaun Pollock has ended with Marco Jansen.
The former captain believes that Marco Jansen can be like veteran player Shaun Pollock. Pollock was a bowling all-rounder. He was a fast bowler and had the ability to score fast runs in the lower order. Talking to ESPNcricinfo, de Villiers said, Jenson has done very good batting in the league. His last few seasons have been excellent as a batter.
Abby reveals that she had never heard of Jenson before. Suddenly saw him spewing fire in the last season of IPL. People told me that he is a South African. I did not even know that he is from our country. Jenson is part of the Sunrisers Hyderabad team in the IPL.
‘There is a chance to be like Ben Stokes’
De Villiers said, Marco is a bowling all-rounder in my opinion. If he feels differently then too good for him. He has got a great opportunity to contribute with both bat and ball. I think of some of the best all-rounders in the world, Ben Stokes, Jacques Kallis to name a few. Marco Jansen has a chance to be like that too. Please tell that the ICC has selected 6 feet 8 inches tall Marco Jenson as the Emerging Cricketer of the Year for 2022.
