Watch: Fan in tears as Sanju Samson's six hits her on face

Star India batter Sanju Samson delivered a stunning performance during India’s fourth T20I against South Africa in Johannesburg on November 15, smashing his second century of the series. However, his explosive innings also showed an unintended consequence when one of his huge sixes hit a fan on her face in the stands, leaving her in tears and requiring medical attention too. The fan was treated with an ice pack by the ground’s medical staff, making sure she was stabilised.

Sanju Samson made history

With his century in Johannesburg, Sanju Samson made history, becoming the first Indian male cricketer to score more than one century in a bilateral T20I series as well. He had earlier hit 107 runs in the series opener in Durban. His 51-ball century at the Wanderers Stadium was a stunning show of power-hitting and timing, captivating the packed crowd and setting the tone for a dominant Indian show as well.

Wishing a quick recovery for the injured fan! 🤕🤞

Tilak Varma smashed a ton

Meanwhile, Sanju Samson wasn’t the only Indian batter who smashed a ton. Young batter Tilak Verma also continued his remarkable form, scoring his second consecutive hundred in the series. The left-hander’s heroics, combined with Sanju Samson’s blistering knock, resulted in a record-breaking 210-run partnership for the third wicket as well. Moreover, they helped India post an imposing 283, their highest-ever T20I total on South African soil as well.
