International cricket's tallest player lost even after winning! Became the owner of this bad record

The tallest player to play international cricket so far has been Mohammad Irfan of Pakistan. But, do you know who is the tallest among the active players playing international cricket? The answer is Marco Jansen. This South African all-rounder is 6 feet 10 inches tall. He is not that tall but with this height, he is currently the tallest among the players playing international cricket. Marco Jansen is currently playing in the T20 series against India. His performance in the third T20 played in Centurion was spectacular. However, he lost even after winning. Now you will say that South Africa's team lost the match, then when did Jansen win?

In the third T20 against India, Marco Jansen wrote the script of his victory through a half-century innings that broke all records. The 6-foot 10-inch tall Jansen completed his half-century in just 16 balls, which is the fastest half-century scored by any batsman in T20 against Team India. And, this is Marco Jansen's victory. Marco Jansen broke Cameron Green's record for scoring the fastest half-century in T20 against India. Two years ago, in 2022, Australia's Green scored a T20 fifty in 19 balls.

The current tallest player in international cricket may have completed his half-century in 16 balls at Centurion, but his entire innings lasted 17 balls. Jansen scored 54 runs in those 17 balls, which included 5 sixes and 4 fours. During this, his strike rate was 317.64.

Now, by making the record of the fastest T20 half-century against India, Marco Jansson has sealed his personal victory. But, he also lost along with the team's defeat. Actually, he made such a bad record that he is the first cricketer in the world to make it. The tallest Jansson has become the first player to score a half-century at a strike rate of more than 300 in the team's defeat.
