Sanju Samson and Tilak Varma toyed with a toothless South African bowling attack at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg on Friday to post an imposing 283/1 in the fourth and final T20I on Friday.ย
Sanju Samson (109 not out off 56 balls) managed his third T20I century of the calendar year while Tilak Varma (120 not out off 47 balls) scored a consecutive ton in the series. The duo posted the highest partnership for India in T20 Internationals --- 210 off just 93 balls for the second wicket.
However, the explosive stand between the two Indian batters also broke the world record for being the highest partnership for a second wicket in T20Is. The stand broke the record held by Dutch pair Michael Levitt and Sybrand Engelbrecht -- 193 runs against Namibia earlier this year.ย
