Marco Jansen has now hit the most sixes by any batter in a Test innings in India. He has smashed seven sixes in the 93-run innings, which has left behind the likes of Vivian Richards and the great Matthew Hayden.
The Indian team started off their campaign well against South Africa on Day 1. Unlike the poor conditions of play at the Eden Gardens, the Guwahati track offered more help to the batters, with considerable help for spinners and seamers as well.
However, after Day 1 was dominated by an all-round brilliance, the second day leaned largely in favour of the Proteas. Two of their batters surpassed their former highest scores to reach new heights in the longest format of the game.
