Sanju Samson Scripts History, Becomes First Player Ever To Achieve Massive T20I Feat

Indian cricket team wicket-keeper batter Sanju Samson became the first player ever to score three T20I centuries in a calendar year following his sensational knock against South Africa on Friday. The India opener looked in phenomenal form as he ended up scoring off 109 just 56 balls with the help of 6 fours and 9 sixes. Samson started the four-matches series with a brilliant century but he was dismissed for a duck in the next two matches. However, that did not affect his form at all as he seemed completely in control against the South Africa bowlers on Friday and his brilliant knock took India to 283/1.

Coming to the match, Sanju Samson and Tilak Varma struck unbeaten centuries as India posted a massive 283 for 1 against South Africa in the fourth and final T20 International.

Varma made 120 not out off just 47 balls (9×4, 10×6) whole Samson scored 109 not out off 56 balls (6×4, 9×6) after the visitors opted to bat first. This was the first time two Indians scored centuries in a T20I innings.

Lutho Sipamla (1/58) was the lone South African bowler to get a wicket.
