**Johannesburg, South Africa:** India completed a dominant 3-1 series victory over South Africa after a stunning performance in the fourth and final T20I at The Wanderers Stadium. A record-breaking partnership between Tilak Varma (120* off 47) and Sanju Samson (109* off 56) propelled India to a mammoth 283/2, setting an insurmountable target for the hosts.
Samson’s century was his third of the calendar year, making him the first ever T20I batsman to achieve this feat. The pair’s 210-run stand for the second wicket, smashed off just 86 balls, shattered previous records.
In response, South Africa’s chase was short-lived. Arshdeep Singh spearheaded India’s bowling attack, taking 3 wickets for 20 runs as the Proteas were bowled out for a paltry 148 in 18.2 overs, handing India a resounding 135-run victory. India’s captain, Suryakumar Yadav, successfully won the toss and elected to bat first, a decision that proved pivotal in their resounding success.
