Veteran commentator Aakash Chopra has applauded Sanju Samson for scoring another century in the fourth T20I between India and South Africa. He further added that the wicketkeeper batter has been dealing only in centuries and ducks lately. Sanju Samson also smashed an unbeaten 109 off 56 deliveries as India set South Africa a 284-run target after batting first in Johannesburg on Friday, November 15 as well.

In a video shared on his YouTube channel ‘Aakash Chopra’, he said, “Sanju Samson’s only mantra is century or duck. He has struck three T20I centuries in the last five matches. Isn’t that absolutely incredible? He is batting at a different level. When he starts batting, he bats in such a way that you think ‘wow’. It is said that the air is slightly thin at the Wanderers ground since it’s at height, and that’s why a lot of sixes are hit. 434 runs were chased on this ground only in the Australia-South Africa match.”

In the same video, Aakash Chopra further shared that Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma’s opening partnership showed India’s new aggressive approach as well.

“When Sanju started thrashing, he wasn’t alone. Abhishek Sharma was also there with him and both showed proper play in the powerplay. They showed that this new Indian team’s playing style is very unique. It is destructive. Sanju Samson waited a lot but once he decided to hit after the wait, he batted incredibly well. Abhishek Sharma is praiseworthy. He uses the long handle, grips the handle at the top, accesses the off-side areas over the top, and he too doesn’t get scared. Both batted amazingly well,” Aakash Chopra concluded.
