Proteas All-Rounder Marco Jansen believes that South Africa will become ‘tough to beat’ as they prepare to take on India in their keenly anticipated second
One Day International clash against India in New Raipur on Wednesday.
India claimed victory in the first ODI match that took place at the JSCA International Stadium Complex this past Sunday after South Africa won the toss and decided to bowl foremostly.
Led by a classy Virat Kohli at the crease, who jotted down 135 runs from 120 balls, India set a target of 350 runs after 50 overs in Ranchi.
Ottniel Baartman, Nandre Burger and Corbin Bosch battled to put the likes of Kholi, KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma away and could only manage two wickets apiece during the first innings.
Nevertheless, South Africa were bowled for 332 runs, as Matthew Breetzke and Marco Jansen were the biggest contributors for the Proteas with 72 and 70 runs respectively.

With the second ODI in view, Jansen believes that South Africa will be hard to knock if they follow the blueprint they’d utilized with the test squad.
“We unfortunately didn’t make it to the end, but I think going forward in the second and third ODIs it’s just a case of keep on doing what we’re doing,” Jansen said.
“We’re doing the right things. It’s about adding things on top of each other like we’ve been doing in the Test squad, and I think once we get on a roll we’re going to be tough to beat.”
