India captain Suryakumar Yadav was quizzed after the T20I series win vs South Africa about Sanju Samson's place in the playing XI. The skipper said that India had a good headache of having too many players competing for the same spot.

Each of Samson's three T20I hundreds have come as a designated wicketkeeper-batter. No other gloveman has accomplished this feat more than twice. Salt and Serbia's Leslie Dunbar are the only other keepers with multiple T20I centuries (2 apiece). Meanwhile, no other Indian keeper has a hundred in this format.

Sanju Samson etched his name in the record books with a breathtaking century in the fourth T20I against South Africa. His unbeaten 109, studded with nine sixes, marked his third T20I century in 2023,

Sanju Samson and Tilak Varma hit a hundred each as India posted 283 and hammered South Africa by 135 runs. On a record-breaking evening in Johannesburg, India completed a memorable series win and ended a memorable year in T20Is on a high.

As mentioned, Samson has become the third Indian with more than two centuries in men's T20Is. He is only behind Rohit Sharma (5) and Suryakumar Yadav (4) in terms of T20I tons for India. Notably, Samson now has more hundreds than his half-centuries in the shortest format. He owns two fifties in this regard.

Sanju Samson became the first player in the world to achieve a huge feat with an incredible feat during the 4th T20I between India and South Africa at the New Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. Samson scored his third ton of 2024 and second of the series as India posted a huge total of 283 on the board.

Samson and Varma also posted the highest partnership for India in T20 Internationals --- 210 off just 93 balls for the second wicket.
