**Johannesburg, South Africa:** Indian batsman Sanju Samson continued his dismal form, being dismissed for a duck in the third T20 against South Africa, making it his second consecutive duck in the series. This unfortunate performance has resulted in Samson setting a negative record in T20 cricket.
Samson is now the first batsman among the top ten T20 teams to score a duck five times in a calendar year. This performance also places him third on the list of Indian batsmen with the most ducks in T20s, surpassing KL Rahul. Marco Jansen, who dismissed Samson in the previous match, was the bowler who clean-bowled him in the second delivery of the third T20.
South Africa, who won the toss and opted to bowl first, continued their dominance over India. India made one change to their playing XI, replacing pacer Avesh Khan with all-rounder Ramandeep Singh.
Rohit Sharma leads the list for most ducks in T20s with 12 ducks in 151 matches. Virat Kohli is second with seven ducks in 117 innings. With six ducks in 32 innings, Sanju Samson now holds the third position on this unfortunate list.
This latest setback for Sanju Samson will undoubtedly raise further questions about his form and future in T20 cricket.
