Irfan Pathan Hails Marco Jansen's 'Impact' Performance, Placing Him Ahead of Bumrah

Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan has offered high praise for Punjab Kings' star Marco Jansen following his exceptional all-round display in the recent Test series against India. Pathan specifically highlighted Jansen's superior impact compared to India's premier fast bowler, Jasprit Bumrah, noting the South African's ability to generate steep bounce and contribute significantly with the bat. Jansen, who was named Player of the Match in the Guwahati Test, finished the series with 12 wickets and a crucial 93 runs in the second match.

This assessment underscores Jansen's growing stature in international cricket, particularly as he prepares for the upcoming IPL season with PBKS, where he is one of the highest-paid South African players. His ability to deliver match-winning performances with both ball and bat, even in challenging conditions, suggests he will be a vital asset for his franchise.
