Only 3 Indian batsmen could score centuries in T20I against South Africa, do you know their names?
India vs South Africa T20i Series: The next mission of the Indian cricket team is going to start now. The four-match T20 match series between India and South Africa is going to start from November 8. The series will be held in South Africa and Team India has been announced for it. The series is expected to be very interesting, it will be captained by Suryakumar Yadav. If we talk about India vs South Africa T20 International matches, till now only three batsmen of Team India have been able to score centuries against the opposing team. Let us tell you about them.
Suresh Raina had scored a century in T20 International matches against South Africa in the year 2010.
Suresh Raina is the first Indian batsman to score a century in T20 International matches against South Africa. In the year 2010, he played a brilliant inning of 101 runs on 60 balls. During this period, 9 fours and 5 sky-high sixes came from his bat. After this, there was a long wait and in the year 2015, the Indian batsman scored a century in this format against South Africa. This batsman is none other than Rohit Sharma.
Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav have also done this feat
Rohit Sharma played an excellent inning of 106 runs on 79 balls in the India vs South Africa match played in Dharamshala in 2015. He hit 12 fours and 5 sixes. After this we had to wait again. In the year 2023, Suryakumar Yadav ended this drought by scoring a century. Suryakumar Yadav had scored 100 runs on 82 balls in the T20 International match against South Africa that year. There were 7 fours and 8 sixes in his innings. Since then, no Indian batsman has scored a century against South Africa.
This time too, a century is expected from an Indian batsman.
Now again there is going to be a series of four T20 matches. This time, new and young players have been given a chance under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav. In such a situation, there is a high possibility that another batsman of the Indian team will score a century against South Africa, but it will definitely be interesting to see whether this will be possible.
