In the one‑day international at Durban, Australia’s Matt Renshaw attempted a pull off Gerald Coetzee’s shortish delivery, missed the ball and sent it soaring toward deep midwicket. Marco Jansen chased hard, stretched his right arm at full length and, while sliding across the turf, secured the ball with a single hand, adjusting his wrist to keep it from touching the ground.
The extraordinary dismissal quickly became a talking point, with the video drawing wide social‑media attention. Jansen’s fielding heroics complemented his 75 runs that helped South Africa recover from 168/5 to post 297, and his overall contribution also included taking Travis Head’s wicket and four catches in the match.
