Former India cricketer Dinesh Karthik has hailed Sanju Samson saying that the wicketkeeper batter has sealed his spot as an opener in T20Is. Notably, Samson recently smashed his second consecutive century in the format during the first T20I against South Africa in Durban and became the first Indian to achieve the feat.

After starting the series with his 2nd straight century in the format, Sanju Samson became only the second T20I batter from a full-member nation to record five ducks in a calendar year.

Hopes were high for Sanju Samson to make a comeback in the third T20I, but unfortunately, the wicketkeeper-batsman failed once again.

Samson bagged a duck in the second T20I against South Africa. But he had scored a century in the series opener off just 45 balls and it was enough for him to take a massive jump in the T20I rankings.

Tilak Varma’s hundred in the 3rd T20I was the second hundred by an Indian batter against South Africa in the ongoing series. Sanju Samson scored 107 in the first match.
