Records Topple As Tilak Varma, Sanju Samson Redefine T20I In Johannesburg

Records toppled as Team India sent fans into a frenzy with a thumping 134-run victory in the 4th T20I against South Africa. Johannesburg saw India make history with Sanju Samson and Tilak Varma redefining the standards of T20I cricket. Their blitzkrieg made it a hard day for statisticians as records tumbled. Runs, runs, and more runs were the story of the final T20I of the series as India continued to surge to new heights under the leadership of Suryakumar Yadav, with a 3-1 series win over the Proteas.

India Defeat South Africa By 135 Runs In 4th T20I, Clinch Series 3-1

Sanju Samson's breathtakingly beautiful stroke-play was matched by Tilak Varma's understated brilliance as India, riding on their record breaking twin tons, bullied a listless South Africa with a series-winning 135-run victory in the fourth and final T20 International on Friday. India thus ended this year's T20I campaign by winning all bilateral series along with the T20 World Cup triumph and victory percentage of 92. Samson's 109 not out off 56 balls was complemented by Varma's 120 not out in only 47 balls as they took India to an unsurmountable 283 for 1 in 20 overs, their highest total on overseas soil. In South Africa's run chase, Arshdeep Singh (3/20) swung the ball prodigiously under lights during an opening spell that reduced the hosts to 10 for 4 and were eventually shot out for 148 in 18.2 overs.

Sanju Samson, Tilak Varma Shatter Massive World Record With Explosive Show Against South Africa

Sanju Samson and Tilak Varma produced a sensational batting performance as the duo shattered a massive world record during the fourth T20I encounter between India and South Africa on Friday. Both batters looked in brilliant form as they slammed centuries to take India to a mammoth total of 283/1 in 20 overs. They also stitched together a 210-run partnership for the second wicket and that was the highest T20I partnership for India ever. The 210-run stand was also the highest ever against South Africa in T20Is and the highest for second wicket or below by any side in the shortest format.

Sanju Samson Scripts History, Becomes First Player Ever To Achieve Massive T20I Feat

Indian cricket team wicket-keeper batter Sanju Samson became the first player ever to score three T20I centuries in a calendar year following his sensational knock against South Africa on Friday. The India opener looked in phenomenal form as he ended up scoring off 109 just 56 balls with the help of 6 fours and 9 sixes in the fourth T20I. Samson started the four-matches series with a brilliant century but he was dismissed for a duck in the next two matches. However, that did not affect his form at all as he seemed completely in control against the South Africa bowlers on Friday and his brilliant knock took India to 283/1.

"It Was Just Down To...": South Africa Captain Aiden Markram's Candid Confession On Loss vs India

South Africa captain Aiden Markram heaped praise on his team and backed them despite the loss against India in the third T20I of the four-match series at the SuperSport Park on Wednesday.

Suryakumar Yadav Reveals 'Sacrifice' For Tilak Varma That Worked Wonders For India Against South Africa

Following victory over South Africa in the third T20I match, India skipper Suryakumar Yadav said that the Men in Blue have played the brand of cricket that they wanted to play. India clinched an 11-run victory over South Africa in Centurion. With a thrilling victory in Centurion, the Men in Blue took a 2-1 lead in the four-match T20I series. The India skipper failed to shine in the game as he scored just one run from four balls in the first inning. His time on the crease came to an end after Andile Simelane removed him. Speaking at the post-match presentation, Suryakumar spoke about the youngsters in the squad and said that even if they miss out in a few innings, they back their intent and their game to make a comeback.

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.
