3 reasons why Marco Jansen could be South Africa’s best performer in Champions Trophy 2025

Marco Jansen’s presence as a top-tier all-around player is the key to South Africa’s balance. He has 400 runs and claimed more than 40 wickets since making his ODI debut. With his strong showing in the 2023 ODI World Cup, when he was instrumental in South Africa’s journey to the semifinals, the left-arm pacer will feel more confident. Jansen, now 24 years old, has solidified his position as a format mainstay.

As the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 nears, South Africa will aim to get its hands on the trophy. South Africa was the first winner of the Champions Trophy in 1998 but since then the team has failed to win the ICC title and got ‘chokers’ tagged. Ahead of the Champions Trophy 2025, South Africa played a tri-series in Pakistan which was preparation for the ICC event. This time around South Africa has a good team which makes them a title contender.
