Most sixes by an Indian in a T20I innings: Sanju Samson equals Rohit Sharma with Durban masterclass


Indian opener Sanju Samson was in record breaking mood in the first T20I against South Africa in Durban. The 29-year-old scored a brilliant century (107 off 50) in the opening game of the four-match bilateral series.

Sanju has scored back-to-back centuries in T20Is after scoring his first ton (111 off 47) against Bangladesh last month. He was the first Indian and only the fourth in the world to achieve this. With his incredible knock of 107, Samson broke numerous T20I records and also equaled former T20I captain Rohit Sharma's record.

The Indian opener scored seven boundaries and 10 sixes while batting in Durban, equaling Rohit Sharma's 10 sixes in his century against Sri Lanka in Indore in 2017.
