Sanju Samson's maiden international century in the series-deciding 3rd ODI helps India win the series against South Africa
Team India and South Africa squared off in the series decider of the three-match series on Thursday at Boland Park in Paarl.
After being asked to bat first, India managed to reach a decent total of 296/8 in 50 overs. Batting at number 3 position, Sanju Samson (108) held the innings together for India and built crucial partnerships with KL Rahul (21) and Tilak Varma (52) en route to his maiden international century.
South Africa looked in control for the first half of the chase as they were 141/2 in the 26th over. However, things went south for them from there, as they lost wickets at regular intervals. They eventually got bundled out for 218 in 45.5 overs and lost the match by 78 runs. Arshdeep Singh led the charge for India with a four-wicket haul with the ball.
At the post-match presentation, Sanju Samson reflected on his match-winning knock, saying:
"I just focused on my process. I keep working hard every day, glad that the results have come out. Would like to continue and keep performing for my country. This format gives you some extra time to take, some understanding of the wicket, and what the bowler is trying to execute and get you out."
He added:
"The whole country is very proud of the way Tilak Varma has stepped up at this age, his performances in the IPL and the shorter formats has been really good. Whenever a junior comes in, the standard expected from him is known to him. Fast bowlers playing three games in six days is not easy, traveling in between. The performance is really appreciable.
