**Durban:** Sanju Samson set the tone for India’s T20 series against South Africa with a blistering century in the first match, showcasing a dominant performance in the four-match series. Samson’s fiery knock of 107 runs off 50 balls, laced with 7 fours and 10 sixes, sent a clear message to the South African bowlers.
This innings also saw Samson script history, becoming the first Indian batsman to score back-to-back centuries in international T20s. His century followed a similar performance in the Hyderabad T20 against the same opposition. Samson’s aggressive approach dominated the South Africans on their home ground, and he achieved the feat in a mere 47 balls, including 7 fours and 9 sixes.
Samson joins the elite club of Gustav McKeon, Riley Rossouw, and Phil Salt as the only other players to achieve this rare feat. He now has the opportunity to become the first ever batsman to score three consecutive T20 centuries if he can maintain his form in the next match.
Samson’s impressive performance has set the stage for a thrilling series with his aggressive batting style promising more exciting innings in the coming matches.
