On the back of a brilliant hundred, Samson made it to the elite list of batters who have made multiple tons as he joined the likes of Suryakumar Yadav, Rohit Sharma, and KL Rahul.

India opener Sanju Samson has scored a sparkling century as the tourists beat South Africa by 61 runs in the first match of a four-game Twenty20 series at Kingsmead in Durban. South Africa asked India to bat on Friday and the visitors posted 8-202 in their 20 overs, before bowling out their hosts for 141 in 17.5 overs for a comprehensive victory.

Samson's exceptional performance against South Africa showcased his aggressive batting style, characterized by power and precision.

Sanju Samson continued his fine form in T20Is with his second hundred.  Samson smashed the South African bowlers all over the park.  With this, Samson entered the list of Indian stars with most hundreds in T20Is.

Sanju Samson says India's T20 cricket strategy is to attack from ball one, regardless of the toss result or challenging conditions.

India wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson's 107 off 50 deliveries against South Africa, his second T20I century in as many games after his 111 against Bangladesh in October, has helped him to brush off the tag of an underperformer.

In his last T20I game before the series against South Africa, the right-handed batter had hit the headlines with a brilliant hundred in the final match against Bangladesh but prior to that, he had gone through a lean patch.

Promoted as an opener after India’s T20 World Cup triumph, the slot seems to have opened up Sanju Samson to bring out his natural attacking instinct.
