IPL 2022: Best Overseas XI - Week Five
The race for playoffs seems to be getting all the more interesting, with all teams but Mumbai Indians effectively in contention.
8. Marco Jansen
The lanky left-arm seamer from South Africa has already made some rapid strides in professional cricket, and he’s just 21 years old. He is one of those rare overseas players to have made their IPL debut even before playing for their national side.
Much like Russell, Marco too had an indifferent week. In the game against RCB, he wreaked havoc with the new ball and picked up the important wickets of du Plessis, Kohli, and Anuj Rawat, all in one over. That probably is one of the best spells in IPL this year. His heroics helped his side dismiss RCB for just 68, a target that SRH chased down without breaking a sweat.
He had a difficult game against the Gujarat Titans where Rashid and Tewatia took him to the cleaners. Although known more for his bowling, Marco is a dangerous batsman down the order too. He usually bats at number seven/eight and can be handy in the death overs.
