The biggest miracle against India in Centurion, all records were shattered in one fell swoop.

The third T20I match was played between India and South Africa. There was heavy rain of runs from both the teams in this match. India and South Africa scored 427 runs together. Tilak Verma scored a brilliant century for India, while for South Africa bowler Marco Jensen scored 54 runs off just 17 balls. In this match, Yanasan scored 54 runs with the help of 4 fours and 5 sixes and created a new history in T20I cricket.

In fact, Marco Jensen came into the field with aggressive intentions and attacked the Indian bowlers with the very first ball. Jansson’s stormy batting saw South Africa claw their way back into the match at one point but Arshdeep Singh turned the match in India’s favor in the last over. Janson may not have led his team to victory, but he scored a blistering half-century to create a new record.

Marco Jensen completed his half-century against India in just 15 balls. Thus, he became the fastest batsman to score a half-century in T20I cricket against Team India. Janson broke Australia’s Cameron Greene’s age-old record. Green had a brilliant half-century in Hyderabad last year, scoring a 16-ball half-century.
