**Durban, South Africa:** Sanju Samson continued his scintillating form with a blistering century in the first T20I of the four-match series against South Africa, helping India to a comfortable victory.
Samson, who had already scored a century in the previous T20I against Bangladesh, became the first Indian batsman to achieve back-to-back T20I centuries. He reached the milestone off just 47 balls, smashing 9 sixes and 7 fours in his explosive innings.
This was also the fastest T20I hundred by an Indian against South Africa, breaking the previous record. His partnership with Suryakumar Yadav for the second wicket, worth 66 runs off 37 balls, set the tone for India’s dominant performance.
Samson’s historic innings not only secured a comfortable victory for India but also further solidified his position in the Indian T20I team. His ability to score runs at a rapid pace makes him a valuable asset in the shortest format of the game.
India will now look to carry this momentum forward in the remaining three matches of the series, with Samson’s form a key factor in their success.
