Sanju Samson broke 15 years old record by getting out for a duck.
While in the first match of the four-match T20 series being played between India and South Africa, Team India had won by an excellent 61 runs, in the second match, the Indian team got off to a very bad start. Sanju Samson, who played an inning of 107 runs in 50 balls in the first match, could not even open his account in the second match being played at St. George Park in Gkebarha. After facing only 3 balls, Samson was bowled by Marco Janson without opening the account. With this, Sanju Samson also made an unwanted record in his name as an Indian batsman.
Samson became the Indian batsman to get out for a duck in T20 for the most number of times in a year.
Sanju Samson has now made a 15 year old record in his name by getting out on a duck. In fact, Samson has now become the player from the Indian team to get the maximum number of ducks in T20 Internationals in a year. Earlier this record was in the name of Yusuf Pathan, who returned to the pavilion three times in T20 International in the year 2009 without opening his account. While Samson did not even succeed in opening the account in this match, he had seen centuries with his bat in the last 2 innings, so this is not a matter of much concern for the team. Let us tell you that Sanju has become the first player in Indian cricket who has succeeded in scoring centuries in 2 consecutive T20 International innings.
