Life has been a roller-coaster for Sai Sudharsan in South Africa as the young India batter made his debut for the national team, smasing two half-centuries on the trot.

He then followed it up with a brilliant 62 in a losing cause in the second ODI. While the 22-year-old could only conjure 10 runs in the series decider, he continued to impress on the field.

After India clinched an ODI series victory against South Africa, captain KL Rahul hailed the performance of Player of the Match Sanju Samson for his outstanding century against Proteas and said that he is pleased to see the batter perform well against Proteas even though he hasn't got a lot of chances at the top of the batting order. Sanju Samson's wonderfully paced ton and Rinku Singh's powerful cameo followed by Arshdeep Singh's blistering spell helped India clinch a three-match ODI series against South Africa, registering a 78 runs win over Proteas in the third match here at Boland Park on Thursday.
Sanju Samson's mature maiden ODI hundred and wiliness of a young set of bowlers on a sticky surface formed a heady concoction in India's 78-run win over South Africa in the third and final match here Thursday. India, thus, bagged the rubber 2-1, their second series triumph on these shores since 2018. Samson's measured 108 (114 balls) and Tilak Varma's patient 52 (77 balls), his first fifty in this format, guided India to a competitive 296 for eight. Their 116-run alliance for an enterprising fourth wicket stand was a treat to watch.
