    Pleased For Sanju Samson, Glad He Was Able To Grab His Chance Here: KL Rahul

    While Washington Sundar: After India won the ODI series with a 78-run win over South Africa in the series decider at Boland Park, captain KL Rahul said he was pleased to see Sanju Samson perform well by scoring his maiden international century despite not getting a lot of chances of playing in the top-order.

    Samson, promoted to number three in the batting order, slammed his first century in international cricket via a fine 108, a mix of elegant strokeplay and rotating the strike while not losing his patience. His knock lifted the team to a competitive total of 296/8 in the first innings, and also shared a 116-run stand in 139 balls with Tilak Varma, who made 52, his first ODI fifty.

    “Pleased for Sanju, he's been a phenomenal performer in the IPL over the years, and hasn't gotten enough chances for different reasons. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to give him the chance at No. 3, because obviously there are stalwarts in the ODIs who occupy those key spots. Glad he was able to grab his chances here and capitalised on them,” said Rahul after the match ended.
