Janneman Malan’s rise from obscurity to becoming a key Proteas batsman is an inspiring story. Malan, who made his Test debut against India in January 2022, scored a century in the second Test against Bangladesh, helping South Africa secure a series win. With just one Test to go before the semi-finals, Malan’s form is crucial for the Proteas’ chances of making it to the final four. The 26-year-old has been in good form in the ongoing series against Bangladesh, scoring 212 runs in three Tests so far.
