Sanju Samson Becomes First Batter Ever To Register Embarrassing T20I World Record

It looks like Sanju Samson is flattering to deceive once again. After two back-to-back centuries in two straight T20Is, the wicketkeeper-batter has now scored two back-to-back ducks. Sanju Samson has often not received a consistent run in the national team, but when he scored those tons against Bangladesh and then against South Africa (in the 1st T20I), everyone thought that Samson was finally doing justice to his immense talent. But now, Samson has scored back-to-back ducks.

Sanju Samson Registers Embarrassing Record After Two Consecutive T20I Tons

Sanju Samson registered an embarrassing record after the Indian cricket team opener was dismissed for a three-ball duck during the second T20I encounter against South Africa in Gqeberha on Sunday. Samson was high on confidence ahead of the match as he became the first Indian ever to score two consecutive centuries in T20Is. However, his stay at the crease was quite short on Sunday as he was clean-bowled by Marco Jansen. This was Samson's fourth duck in T20Is in 2024 - the most by any Indian batter in a calendar year.
