The Indian cricket team is currently on South Africa tour and is playing a 4-match T20I series. The first match of the series was played in Durban in which India defeated South Africa by 61 runs thanks to Sanju Samson’s explosive century. Sanju Samson had created a new history by scoring centuries in 2 consecutive T20 innings with a century in this match. Sanju became the fourth batsman in the world and the first batsman from India to score centuries in two consecutive T20I innings. Now the Indian team is facing against South Africa in the second T20I match. In this match, once again a big innings was expected from Sanju Samson but he could not even open his account and returned to the pavilion after facing only 3 balls. With this a very shameful record was added to Sanju’s name.
Actually, Sanju Samson has been out on a duck for the fourth time in T20I cricket this year. In this way, he has become the Indian batsman to get out for a duck the most number of times in T20I cricket, 4 times within a year. Earlier, Yusuf Pathan, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli had the record of getting out for duck 3-3 times in a year.

- 3 – Yusuf Pathan (2009)

When Sanju Samson, who scored a century in the first T20I match against South Africa, was out for a duck in the second match, he joined a unique club. Sanju has become the 13th batsman in the world to be out for a duck after scoring a century in two consecutive innings in T20I cricket. He is only the second Indian to be included in this list. Before this, only Yashasvi Jaiswal had done this feat from India’s side.
