India's experienced keeper-batter Sanju Samson is on the verge of joining Virat Kohli in an infamous record in the upcoming fourth T20I against South Africa at the Wanderers stadium in Johannesburg. Led by Suryakumar Yadav, India will take on the Proteas in the all-important decider, with the scoreline of 2-1 setting the tone for a cracking finale at the bullring.
Meanwhile, Sanju Samson is on the brink of joining batting stalwart Virat Kohli in an unwanted batting record. Samson, who revitalised his T20I career by smashing back-to-back hundreds, faltered with the bat, recording consecutive ducks in Gqeberha and Centurion.
The explosive batter from Kerala has six T20I ducks to his name. So, if he gets out without scoring in Johannesburg, Samson will equal Virat Kohli's record for the second most T20I ducks for India.

Most Ducks For India In T20Is
| Batter | Innings | Ducks |
|---|---|---|
| Rohit Sharma | 151 | 12 |
| Virat Kohli | 117 | 7 |
| Sanju Samson | 32 | 6 |
| KL Rahul | 68 | 5 |
| Shreyas Iyer | 47 | 4 |
As mentioned in the table above, Rohit Sharma, who led India to a historic T20 World Cup triumph, is at the top of the pile with 12 ducks. Kohli occupies the second position with seven zeroes, while Samson claims the third position.
Sanju Samson Eyes Redemption In 4th T20I
Sanju Samson, who struck a blazing hundred in the last T20I against Bangladesh, had an outstanding start to the South Africa series, slamming a blistering ton in the opening encounter in Durban. However, the batter found South African pacer Marco Jansen too hot to handle, with the left-arm seamer castling him for ducks in Gqeberha and Centurion. Therefore, as the caravan shifts to Johannesburg, the batter will be keen to regain his mojo by playing an impactful innings in this match.
