While the Indian cricketers Sanju Samson and Tilak Varma’s hammering centuries guided India to the T20I series victory against the hosts South Africa, there was a distressing moment as one fan got a hit during a sixer. The fan required medical attention.  

Johannesburg hosted the fourth and final game of the four-match T20I series between South Africa and India. Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav chose to bat first after winning the toss. With the help of Sanju Samson (109 not out off 56 balls) and Tilak Varma’s (120 not out off 47 balls) unbeaten centuries, India set a total of 283/1 in 20 overs. Later, South Africa were all out for 148 runs as India won the series 3-1 after winning the series finale by 135 runs. 

During the first innings, India hit 23 sixes, which was their new record sixes in a T20I innings. Samson hit six fours and nine sixes, while Varma slammed nine fours and 10 sixes. Also, the opener Abhishek Sharma scored 36 off 18 balls with the help of two fours and four sixes. 

Fan required medical attention

During that dominating batting performance, one of Samson’s over-boundary hit a female cricket fan. The ball bounced into the fan’s face. It was very hard-hitting as the fan had teary eyes. Medical attention was required for the fan as she was treated with an ice pack. 

Samson learned about that incident quickly as his facial expression was telling it. Also, by raising his hand, he was apologising to the fan.
