Sanju Samson
The wicketkeeper-batter first hammered 111 off 47 balls in the previous T20I he played against Bangladesh in Hyderabad. And then now during the first T20I against South Africa, he has made another hundred to reach a rare feat.

He was in spectacular form from the ball one against South Africa, racing to 35 off just 20 balls inside the Powerplay.

The onslaught continued even in the middle overs as Samson moved into the "nervous nineties" in the 13th over of the innings.

He completed his hundred off only 47 balls in the over. His previous T20I hundred against Bangladesh came off only 40 deliveries.

Samson became the first Indian batter to score back-to-back centuries in T20I's. Before him three players have reached this feat of scoring consecutive centuries in T20I Cricket.

Players with back-to-back men's T20I hundreds:

1.  Gustav Mckeon, 2022
2.  Rilee Rossouw, 2022
3.  Phil Salt, 2023
4.  Sanju Samson, 2024

Sanju Samson has scored 107 off 50 deliveries, including 10 monstrous sixes and 7 delightful boundaries and helped India post 202 on the board.

Also the ten sixes by Sanju Samson is the joint most for India in a T20 international alongisde Rohit Sharma who hit ten against Sri Lanka in Indore in 2017.
