What Saints are getting in Jordyn Tyson: Fit and scouting report
Saints draft wide receiver Jordyn Tyson with the 8th pick in 2026 NFL Draft.
Marco Jansen has emerged as a key player for Punjab Kings in the IPL, inspired by Josh Hazlewood's bowling style. At 25, Jansen has adapted his technique to focus on consistent 'Test-match' lengths, enhancing his performance across formats.
NEW DELHI: Marco Jansenâs evolution as a cricketer is one of the standout stories over the last year and a half. Besides his impactful cameos with the bat down the order, he has consistently shouldered the responsibility with the ball for South Africa. In the IPL, he has come into his own as a bankable player for Punjab Kings. It has been a remarkable rise for someone who only took up cricket as a career at the age of 17 after giving up on pursuing rugby.

At the age of 25, Jansen found his calling by bowling the hard length across formats. He has managed to be unfazed by the chaotic world of T20 cricket, which demands a range of variations from bowlers. Importantly, Australiaâs metronomic Josh Hazlewood has been the inspiration behind his transformation as a cricketer.
âIt doesnât surprise me because Josh Hazlewood does the exact same thing,â Jansen said, responding to a query from TOI on the consistent âTest-matchâ lengths he bowls irrespective of formats. âPeople ask the same question (about him). How does he just hit a length and pick up wickets? He doesnât go for a lot of runs and heâs consistent as well,â Jansen said.
âJosh also has variations. I also have one or two variations. Weâre both tall bowlers but we bowl different lengths,â Jansen said. âWhen I was younger, the problem was I was trying to bowl similar lengths to the other guys. I didnât realise that what I bring to the table is completely different. Iâve to find my own way to be effective. The last year or so, Iâve felt comfortable in my own skin,â he added.
However, his role has changed at Punjab Kings. He canât use swing as a weapon because he doesnât get to bowl with the new ball, so Jansen has had to work on bowling with the older ball. The hard work paid off in the Test series in India last winter, when he troubled the Indian batters throughout. Even in the IPL, his approach has been to look for wickets. âIâm used to taking the first or second over but I also know I have the skills to adapt,â Jansen said. âComing in to bowl the third, fourth or sometimes fifth over is definitely a different approach.
Josh Hazlewood has inspired Marco Jansen to adopt consistent 'Test-match' lengths, which has improved Jansen's effectiveness as a bowler.
Marco Jansen's key strengths include his ability to bowl hard lengths consistently and contribute valuable runs down the order.
