Sanju Samson Becomes First Batter To Score Three T20I Centuries In A Calendar Year
Only Rohit Sharma: Sanju Samson delivered a breathtaking performance of batsmanship at the Wanderers Stadium here on Friday, smashing his third T20I century in the fourth match of the series against South Africa. Samson's scintillating knock of 109 not out off just 56 balls, decorated with nine towering sixes and six boundaries, etched his name in the record books as he crossed several T20I milestones.
With this knock, Samson became the first batter in T20I history to score three centuries in a calendar year and only the second player after England's Phil Salt to smash two centuries in a bilateral T20I series.
Samson’s unbeaten hundred followed his 107 in the series opener in Durban, further cementing his reputation as one of India’s most dynamic T20I players. This also marked the first time in men’s T20I cricket history that two players scored centuries in the same innings in a match between full ICC members.
