SA vs SL | Twitter lauds Jansen embarrassing Chandimal’s 'hold the pose' attempt with unplayable delivery

Resuming after a rain-interrupted opening day, Temba Bavuma was the master in craft that withstood the Sri Lankan heat at Kingsmead on the second day. His 117-ball 70 helped South Africa propel to 191 runs in the first innings before the South African bowlers showcased their caliber with the red cherry. After Rabada got the first breakthrough Jansen was fiery with the new ball as Lankan veteran Chandimal was stunned by his as🦹tounding delivery. 

After leaving the first three balls that he faced, Chandimal attempted a front-foot defence on the second ball of the sixth over. However, Jansen’s good length delivery, jagged in sharply after pitching near the off stump and beating the inside edge to flatten the off stick. Chandimal did ho🦋ld his pose for a while but only in remorse as left the field with a duck. The fact that the visitors’ veteran didn’t even get to connect with the bat for once became a matter of embarrasment as the Twitterverಌse summoned.

What a delivery!!

Just can't

Marco Jansen has taken 3 wickets, and all 3 have come soon after a no ball.



Two came the next ball



One came 2 balls after.
