The ongoing Test series between South Africa and India has proven to be quite an enthralling one for the viewers. From some resilient batting to some incredible bowling, it has been nothing short of any action as the players of both sides have been pushing the limits to win matches for their side. Amid all this, there have been a few heated moments where tempers have flared high.
During Day 3 of the series-decider in Cape Town, fans have been treated to a tug of war between the two sides. After South Africa got ahead with two quick wickets early in the day, India bounced back with a partnership between Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant. Just when the match was running away from them, the Proteas dismissed Kohli and got their noses in front yet again.
Marco Jansen loses his cool in Cape Town
There was a new sense of energy in South African pacers but Pant was frustrating them with his batting. This is what resulted in young Marco Jansen losing his cool once more! After Pant defended a good-length delivery back to the bowler, the left-arm fast-bowler did not like it as he threw the ball towards the batsman in anger.
With the ball being thrown towards his body, Pant stood tall and produced another solid defense much to the agony of bowler. "Not often do you seen two good shots in one delivery," the on-air commentators said while reflecting on the incident.
The wicketkeeper batsman did not speak a word but silenced Jansen with his actions, which is undoubtedly the best way to answer on field of cricket.
