1st T20I: Scintillating Samson Scores Back-to-back Tons As India Soar To 202 Vs South Africa
Scintillating Sanju Samson: Sanju Samson struck a second century in as many matches in T20Is as India reached a daunting total of 202/8 against South Africa in the first T20I of the series at the Kingsmead Cricket Ground here on Friday.
Samson scored 107 runs in 50 deliveries and became the first Indian player to hit consecutive T20I centuries. His scintillating innings saw the 29-year-old hit seven boundaries and 10 sixes to hammer the fastest century by an Indian against the Proteas in a T20I game.
With overcast and rain having influenced the playing conditions in favour of the bowlers, and Marco Jansen conceding only two runs in the opening over, the Indian batters were expected to have a tough time in the middle after the hosts won the toss and elected to bowl first.
