Indian batter Sanju Samson has made history by becoming the first Asian player to score consecutive T20I centuries. His latest century came in a spectacular performance during the first T20I of the four-match series against South Africa at Kingsmead Stadium in Durban. This incredible feat follows his century against Bangladesh in October, making him the fourth player globally to achieve this milestone.

Sanju Samson’s Record-Breaking Knock

The 29-year-old Samson, who ended the Bangladesh series on a high note with a knock of 111, continued his remarkable form against South Africa, smashing a quick 107 runs. His century against the Proteas highlighted his strength and attacking play, particularly against spin bowlers. He attacked South Africa’s Keshav Maharaj and Nqabayomzi Peter, punishing any loose deliveries and showcasing his mastery over the bowlers.

Players with Consecutive T20I Centuries:

• Sanju Samson (India)
• Gustav Mckeon (France)
• Rilee Rossouw (South Africa)
• Phil Salt (England)

Samson’s Stunning 50-to-100 Acceleration

One of the highlights of Samson’s innings was his rapid acceleration. He reached his half-century in quick time, then blasted his way from 50 to 100 in just 20 balls, displaying his powerful hitting abilities. He finally fell for 107, caught off the bowling of Nqabayomzi Peter, but by then, he had already left a lasting impact on the game.
