4th T20I: Blistering Tons By Samson, Varma Take India To Record 283/1 Against South Africa
Sanju Samson: Top-order batters Sanju Samson and Tilak Varma struck centuries and shared a historic 210-run partnership, which took India to a mammoth 283/1 against South Africa, the highest-ever total, in the fourth and final T20I match of the series at the Wanderers Stadium here on Friday. Sanju’s innings of 109 not out was his third century in five games whereas Tilak Varma’s unbeaten 120-run knock put him in an elite list of only five batters, including Samson, to have scored centuries in consecutive T20I.
Incidentally, Samson had achieved the feat in this series itself when he scored a hundred in the first match of this T20I series against South Africa at Kingsmead, adding to the hundred he scored against Bangladesh in India's previous match. This is Samson's second century of this four-match series and third in the last five matches.
A plethora of records were set at the Wanderers including the most sixes in an innings (23), the first time two centuries have been scored in the same innings (when two member sides are playing), the highest partnership for any wicket in T20I’s and India’s fastest innings to reach 200 (14.1 overs).
