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.
Marco Jansen came in to bat alongside centurion Senuran Muthusamy, who was then batting in his 60s. Jansen took an entirely different approach from ball one, as he smacked the Indian bowlers to all parts of the ground.
In his 93-run innings, he hit a total of 7 sixes and surpassed several records. He unfortunately missed a hundred after dragging a wide ball that kept low back into his stumps.

All this comes in the aspect of a major six-hitting record, as he became the second man to hit seven sixes against the subcontinent side in a Test innings. Shahid Afridi's 19-year-old record was leveled.
