The stage was set after India lost Abhishek Sharma for a quick 36 in the last over of the powerplay. From there, Samson and Varma took charge, dismantling the South African bowling attack with ruthless precision. Sanju, who had endured back-to-back ducks in the previous games, silenced critics with a breathtaking knock.

Showcasing his immense power and timing, he raced to his third T20I century in just 51 balls, smashing six fours and eight towering sixes. With a strike rate of 196, the keeper-batter ensured India finished the series on a high. Tilak Varma, continuing his stellar form, was equally destructive.
