NEW DELHI: Sanju Samson’s towering six inadvertently struck a female fan in the stands, leaving her in tears during the fourth and final T20I against South Africa in Johannesburg on Friday.
Samson reached his fifty in style with a six and followed it up with another powerful shot over the fence. Unfortunately, the second six struck a female spectator on the cheek, delivering a brutal blow.
The video of the moment soon went viral, with fans expressing concern for the injured spectator.
Samson and Tilak Varma lit up the Wanderers Stadium on Friday, smashing centuries as India posted a mammoth total of 283/1 against South Africa.
Samson (109* off 56 balls) delivered yet another masterclass, following up his century in the first game by decimating the Proteas bowlers alongside Varma (120* off 47 balls). Varma, thriving with newfound confidence and vigor at the number three spot, has truly come into his own.
Samson now boasts three T20I centuries in his last five innings, an extraordinary run that also includes two ducks. Meanwhile, Varma has continued his red-hot form with back-to-back T20I tons, underlining his consistency and match-winning abilities.
Samson reached his hundred in 51 balls, while Varma was even quicker, getting there in just 41 deliveries.
