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. Yusuf Pathan, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli all had 3 in a single year.

Apart from one century against Zimbabwe on his second-ever T20I, Abhishek has failed to get going. In fact, the 24-year-old has not crossed the 20-run mark in eight of his nine T20I innings. Fans on social media pointed out Abhishek's inconsistency, and went on to question whether he deserved his spot in the India XI over other players like Ruturaj Gaikwad.
