India go on record six-hitting spree against South Africa

SPORTS 15.11.2024

Sanju Samson and Tilak Varma hit centuries as India went on a six-hitting spree in the fourth and final Twenty20 international against South Africa at the Wanderers Stadium on Friday.

Text size:

Samson made 109 not out and Varma hit an unbeaten 120 in an Indian total of 283 for one.

It was the second-highest T20 total between Test nations, just 14 runs short of the 297 for six that India made against Bangladesh in Hyderabad last month.

The Indian batsmen hit 23 sixes –- a record between Test countries. Varma hit 10, Samson nine and Abhishek Sharma lashed four sixes before he was the only batsman dismissed, for 36.

India lead the series 2-1.
