New Delhi:Â
Sanju Samson the Indian Wicket-keeper batter became the first player ever to score three T20I centuries in a Calendar year following his sensational knock against South Africa on Friday. Sanju looked in phenomenal touch as he scored 109 of 56 balls with the help of 6 fours and 9 sixes in the last T20I match. He started the series with a blistering hundred but he was dismissed for a duck in the next two matches. Although, that didn’t had any affect on his form, as he came back with a thunderous hundred and helped India to reach 283/1.

Indian InningsÂ
Sanju Samson’s gun Innings met its match in Tilak Varma’s muscular elegance as India toyed with South African bowling attack to post 283 for 1 in the fourth and final T20I match.
Among the plethora of records that tumbled, the most special one will be two Indian batters scoring centuries in same T20I innings. Samson and Varma also posted the highest partnership for India in T20 Internationals — 210 off just 93 balls for the second wicket.
Samson (109 not out off 56 balls), who smashed a superb century in the first game, once again pummelled the Proteas in company of Varma (120 not out off 47 balls) who has really come into his own with new found confidence and vigour at number three.
