Sanju Samson-Tilak Verma made 10 amazing records, this miracle happened for the first time in the history of T20I.
If on October 12, in the T20 match against Bangladesh in Hyderabad, Team India had written a new definition of explosive batting, then a month later on November 15, the Indian team repeated the same definition and again created a stir with its mind-boggling batting. This time the ground was not India's but South Africa's and the target was also the bowlers of that country. In the fourth and final match of the T20 series on Friday in Johannesburg, India scored a huge score of 283 runs against South Africa, while only one wicket fell.
The star of this destructive performance of Team India was once again Sanju Samson, who scored a century again just like in Hyderabad. He was well supported by Tilak Verma because this young batsman scored a century with an even more aggressive attitude than Sanju. Now if such a big score is made, so many centuries are scored, then records are bound to be made and that is what happened. Sanju and Tilak not only made their own records but also some records came in the bag of Team India.
Sanju Samson scored the third century of his T20 career and all three of his centuries have come this year. In this way, he became the first batsman to score 3 centuries in a single year in T20 International.
At the same time, Sanju Samson has come at number three in the list of Indian batsmen who have scored the most centuries in T20 International. Only captain Suryakumar Yadav (4) and former captain Rohit Sharma (5) are ahead of him.
Sanju also became the first Indian batsman to score two centuries in the same series. At the same time, Tilak Verma also repeated his record shortly after and became the second Indian batsman to do so. Before these two, only England's Phil Salt has been able to do such a feat in the whole world.
Tilak Verma scored the second century of his T20 career and this century came in consecutive matches. He had also scored a century in Centurion. In this way, after Sanju, he became only the second Indian batsman to score a century in 2 consecutive T20 International matches.
Tilak reached his hundred in just 41 balls, the third-fastest for India in the format after Rohit Sharma (35) and Sanju Samson (40).
Sanju and Tilak scored centuries in this match and thus for the first time in T20 International, two centuries were scored in the same innings by a team among the full member countries (i.e. countries playing Test cricket).
Both of them made a partnership of 210 runs (not out) for the second wicket, which is the biggest partnership in the history of T20 International. In fact, this is the first time that a partnership of more than 200 runs has been made in a T20 International match.
Team India has hit a total of 23 sixes in its innings, which is a new record in T20. Earlier, India, West Indies and Afghanistan had hit 22 sixes each.
Tilak and Sanju together have scored a total of 4 centuries in this series. This is the first time that 4 centuries have been scored by a team in a series.
Team India's score of 283 runs is the second-highest score in matches played between two full member countries. India also holds the record for the highest score (297), which came against Bangladesh just last month.
