In the third T20 match against India on November 13, South African captain Eden McCrum won the toss and elected to bowl first. India have debuted all-rounder Ramandeep Singh in place of fast bowler Avesh Khan. After losing the toss, Team India’s openers Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma entered the field to open the Indian innings. Sanju Samson, who scored a brilliant century in the first match of the series, could not even open his account in the second match. In such a situation, a better performance was expected from him in the third match. However, Sanju met the same fate as he had in the second match.
Sanju Samson returned to the pavilion on the second ball of the first over. Marco Jensen showed Sanju the way to the pavilion on Duck. In this way, Sanju Samson made a very embarrassing record in his name. In fact, Sanju has become the 7th Indian player with the most consecutive clean sheets in T20I cricket. Earlier, Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Ambati Rayudu, Ashish Nehra, Deepak Hooda have been dismissed for zero in 2 consecutive matches. Washington Sundar is the only Indian to have been dismissed in 3 consecutive T20I matches.
