Two Proteas batters in ICC ODI Team of the Year

Two South Africans have earned selection for the ICC ODI Team of the Year for 2021.

They are Janneman Malan and Rassie van der Dussen.

Malan established himself as a vital part of the South African top order in 2021, scoring 509 runs in eight matches at an average of 84.83 with two centuries and two half-centuries.

Be it in home or away conditions, Malan maintained his consistency throughout the year, having made his ODI debut only a year before.

Van der Dussen continued to be a rock for the Proteas in the 50-over format.

Playing impactful knocks and masterfully rotating the strike, the middle-order batter scored 342 runs in eight games at an average of 57, including a century (123*) against Pakistan in Centurion.

He scored his second ODI hundred (129*) against India on Wednesday.
