According to Jacques Kallis, which South African all-rounder has now become a 'premium all-rounder' due to recent batting improvements?
Marco JansenJacques Kallis, the legendary South African all-rounder, lauded Marco Jansen for his transformation into a 'premium all-rounder' owing to significant improvements in his batting.

Beyond his explosive batting, he also claimed 12 wickets across the two Tests, playing a key role in South Africa’s 2-0 series win in India. Kallis noted that while Jansen always had bowling prowess, his recent batting consistency has elevated his all-round game. This development makes him a vital asset for South Africa in all formats, including the upcoming SA20 and T20 World Cup.

Which venue is hosting the second ODI between India and South Africa on December 3, 2025?
Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh StadiumThe second ODI of the India vs South Africa series is being played at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium in Raipur, Chhattisgarh. This venue has hosted limited international matches so far — only one prior ODI (against New Zealand in January 2023) and one T20I (against Australia in December 2023). In both matches, Indian seamers like Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj exploited seam movement effectively. The pitch is relatively unfamiliar to both teams, adding an element of unpredictability. The stadium’s conditions could again play a decisive role in the outcome of this crucial second ODI.
