A brief moment of on-field banter lit up the India vs South Africa 1st ODI after Marco Jansen hammered Arshdeep Singh for a scorching boundary. As Jansen smashed a low full-toss through the off-side for four in the 26th over, cameras caught the tall Proteas all-rounder and the Indian pacer exchanging a few words and a smile right after the shot.
The moment came right before Rohit Sharma walked up to Arshdeep for a quick chat, keeping mid-off up and adjusting the field as Jansen continued to swing freely.
Earlier in the over, Jansen had also picked up two runs and survived a sharp slower bouncer. The left-hander has been in counter-attack mode throughout the chase, and Arshdeep responded with a stare and a cheeky grin—setting up an entertaining mini-battle between the two.
The intensity of the chase, combined with Jansen’s aggressive hitting, ensured the cameras stayed fixed on the duo as the banter added flavour to an otherwise high-pressure moment.
