\n\nDale Steyn reserved high praise for Marco Jansen and labelled him as the best cricketer in the world after his heroic all-round show in the ongoing second Test match between South Africa and Australia, which is taking place at the St. Goerge Park in Gqeberha as the hosts are aiming to level the series after suffering a heavy defeat in the opening game at Durban.
\n\nJansen helped South Africa recover from 110-6 to post a huge total of 425/9 as he put up a 132-run partnership with skipper Temba Bavuma, who played a heroic knock of 179. Later, Jansen was the star of the show with the ball for the Proteas as Australia were bowled out for just 99 runs with a fine spell of 5/33, which included the big wickets of Travis Head, Matt Renshaw, Alex Carey, Beau Webster, alongside nightwatchman Scot Boland.
\n\n"Marco Jansen is currently the best cricketer in the world," wrote Steyn on X.
