Sanju Samson's Maiden ODI Hundred Lift India To 296/8 In The Series Decider Against SA

By IANS News December 21, 2023 • 20:50 PM View: 650

Sanju Samson: In the third ODI and series-decider match between India and South Africa, India set a challenging target of 297 courtesy of Sanju Samson's maiden ODI Hundred and Rinku Singh’s spectacular finish to the innings.

Opting to bowl first, South African skipper Aiden Markram had hoped for early breakthroughs, and debutant Rajat Patidar showed promise with an aggressive start. However, his innings was cut short at 22 by Nandre Burger.

B Sai Sudharsan, Patidar's opening partner, fell prey to Beuran Hendricks in the eighth over, leaving India at 49/2 at the end of the first powerplay. The responsibility then fell on the shoulders of skipper Lokesh Rahul and the in-form Sanju Samson to steady the ship. The duo meticulously rebuilt the innings, showcasing a partnership that added 52 runs.
