Sanju Samson has breathed fire once again. After two consecutive ducks, the Rajasthan Royals (RR) superstar has been on song, hammering another century in the fourth T20I against South Africa. He looked in ominous touch right from the start and tackled the new ball challenge at will. In fact, by the 14th over, he clubbed seven sixes, that included a 73-run opening partnership with Abhishek Sharma. While the thousand fans enjoyed Samson’s show at the Wanderers Stadiums, one lady had a remorseful fate.
Watch: Fan hit by a six from Sanju Samson
During the tenth over bowled by part-timer Tristan Stubbs, Samson hit two back-to-back maximums. Unfortunately, the second six struck a lady in the crowd. She was not watching the ball and copped a blow on the left side of her face. Luckily, someone brought an ice pack quickly to ease the pain somewhat.
Tilak and Samson completed outclassed the Protea bowling attack, smashing them to all over the iconic Wanderers Stadium. The duo stitched up a humongous 210-run stand in just 86 balls, which is the highest ever by an Indian duo in the format. Tilak clubbed 10 sixes in the innings and batted at a blistering strike rate of 255.32 as he made 120* off 47.
