Samson’s Stellar Performance Powers India To Massive Total
Sanju Samson baffled with a blazing innings, in which he scored 6 fours and 9 sixes. Including a duck in the last two matches, his run of scores can’t be termed as satisfactory. He bounced back to take comprehensive control of the match in spectacular style, while his hundred coupled with a brilliant knock by Tilak Varma ensured that India registered the highest-ever total in T20I history.

Along with Samson, he built an unconquerable resistance against the South African bowlers. For the first time in T20I history, it was this match where two Indian players were able to score centuries in an innings at a go.

The bowling attack of South Africa had no answers to the onslaught from the Indian pair. Of the South African bowlers, only Lutho Sipamla could manage one wicket by the end of the game. South Africa could little to stop the rampant batting display by India.
