The debate over the world's best cricketer has taken an interesting turn, with South African legend Dale Steyn throwing his support behind the young all-rounder Marco Jansen. Steyn was left highly impressed by Marco Jansen's stunning all-round performance against Australia…
Dale Steyn named Marco Jansen the best cricketer in the world, favoring him over England batter Harry Brook due to Jansen's all-round capabilities. Steyn's comments responded to former England captain Nasser Hussain, who had previously picked Brook for the title, with Steyn highlighting on social media that Brook does not bowl.
Steyn praised Jansen following his decisive display in the second Test against Australia in Gqeberha. Jansen scored 85 runs in a 132-run stand with Temba Bavuma to help South Africa reach 425/9 declared, before taking 5/33 to bowl out Australia for 99.
