Sanju Samson has accomplished a rare feat, scoring an ODI century at No. 3 for India and leading his team to a victory of 78 runs over South Africa.
The star batsman of India, Sanju Samson, has created history after scoring a brilliant century against South Africa. No other Indian batsman except Sourav Ganguly and Virat Kohli has ever scored a century in South Africa.
Sanju Samson has accomplished the rare feat of scoring an ODI century at No. 3 for India and ensuring India’s win by 78 runs in the third ODI to clinch the three-match series 2-1 on Thursday. However, it was the sweet gesture of Sanju Samson for India captain Rohit Sharma that caught everyone’s attention.

Instead of aggressive celebration after his ton, Samson flexed his muscles and celebrated like Rohit Sharma, as a tribute to the Hitman. Earlier, during a match, Rohit Sharma had flexed his muscles after an umpire inquired about the reason for his massive sixes. Now, Sanju’s sweet gesture for Rohit Sharma, who has been dropped as captain of the Mumbai Indians, has won the hearts of fans.
Congratulatory messages have been pouring in for Samson on achieving his maiden international century. He is also the first cricketer from Kerala to score a century for India in an ODI.
