Sanju Samson Shines As India Beat South Africa To Clinch Historic Series Win
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.
