The Indian cricket team is currently on tour of South Africa and is playing a 4-match T20I series. In the first match of the series in Durban, India defeated South Africa by 61 runs on the back of Sanju Samson’s explosive century. Sanju Samson created a new history by scoring hundreds in two consecutive T20 innings in this match. Sanju became the fourth batsman in the world and the first Indian batsman to score hundreds in two consecutive T20I innings. Now India will face South Africa in the second T20I. In this game, Sanzhou Samson once again had high hopes, but he couldn’t even open his account and returned to the venue after facing only 3 goals. At this point, a very shameful record has been added to Zhou Zhou’s name.
In fact, Sanju Samson was dismissed for the fourth time in T20I cricket this year. In this way, he became the Indian batsman with the most dismissals in T20I cricket 4 times in a year. Previously, Yusuf Pathan, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli had a record of 3-3 ducks in a year.

Sanju Samson joined a unique club when he scored a goal in the first T20I against South Africa before being dropped in the second. Sanju became the 13th batsman in the world to be dismissed for a duck when he hit two consecutive doubles in T20I cricket. He is the second Indian to be included in the list. Prior to this, only Yashasvi Jaiswal from India had accomplished this feat.
