Sanju Samson Makes History with Maiden Century in International Cricket
India’s Sanju Samson has made history by scoring his first century in his international cricket career. The 29-year-old player from Kerala achieved this milestone in the third and final match of the ODI series against South Africa.
Samson faced 114 balls and scored an impressive 108 runs, which included three sixes and six fours. His century comes in his 16th ODI, making him the first Kerala player to achieve this feat. This also puts him in an esteemed company as he became only the eighth Indian batsman to score a maiden century in the ODI format.
The Indian team posted a total of 296 for eight, with Tilak Verma also making a significant impact with a half-century. Samson’s performance has drawn praise from fans and experts alike, especially given the pressure he faced when he entered the field.
Sanju’s century comes at a crucial time in his career, particularly after being left out of the ODI World Cup squad and facing criticism for his performances in the past. His mature batting display and ability to form strong partnerships have been credited with providing stability to the Indian team when it was needed the most.
The century, which comes at an average of 50.25 in 15 ODIs, has revived hopes for Samson and will likely boost his confidence as he looks to make a mark at the international level. His achievement also contributes to a significant milestone for Indian cricket, as this is the year where Indian players have scored a record number of centuries in ODIs.
Samson’s success underscores his ability to rise above challenges and criticism, and his maiden century will undoubtedly be remembered as a turning point in his career. With this historic feat, Sanju Samson has firmly established himself as a force to be reckoned with in international cricket.
