In the ongoing 1st T20I between India and South Africa at the Kingsmead Stadium in Durban, the visitors were asked to bat first by the Proteas. The Decision turned out to be a masterstroke as the Men in Blue put 205/7 on the board. 

Sanju Samson was the pick of the batters as the right-hand batter smashed a quick-fire century. Notably, Samson who came to open the innings, registered his second straight century in T20Is and became the first Indian to smash two consecutive hundreds in the shortest format of the match. 

Tristan Stubbs Flexes His Fielding Skills And Sends Samson Packing

Samson scored 107 (50), which featured 10 sixes and seven fours. Sanju batted at a strike-rate of 214 and looked as if he would break Shubman Gill's record of 123-runs knock against New Zealand in 2023, but Nqaba Peter and Tristan Stubbs had some other plans. 

On the 4th ball of the 16th over, Samson looked for his 11th maximum of the night, but Tristan Stubbs pulled off a special effort at the boundary rope to send Samson back to the pavillion.  While, it was a great catch and South Africa's home ground, Samson recieved a standing ovation from the Durban crowd. 


Sanju Samson's Heroics Against Bangladesh

In the 3rd and final T20I against Bangladesh at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, Samson scored 111 (47), which featured 11 fours and eight sixes. 

It is worth noting that Samson won the player of the match award for his performance and silenced his critics with that knock. Further, his century helped India beat The Tigers by 133 runs.
