SA vs AUS ODI: Manjrekar’s Fascinating Comment on Samson’s Century Against South Africa

Manjrekar’s Fascinating Comment on Samson’s Century Against South Africa: After the completion of the SA vs IND 3rd ODI series in the three-match series, everyone is talking about Sanju Samson.

Sanju Samson slammed the maiden century during the final match of the series against South Africa.

‘Had Sanju Got a Blazing 100 in 80 Balls, You Would’ve Said…’: Manjrekar’s

After a long wait, Sanju Samson made the maiden international century on Thursday. On the gameplay, after the arrival of captain KL Rahul, we lost him for only 28 runs, and then Tilak Varma and Samson forged a strong 116-run and eventually Samson made a century.

His century took India to a competitive score of 296/8 in fifty overs. Samson is an aggressive player naturally and he plays in the lower middle order in international cricket.

Manjrekar on his official X profile stated about Samson,

“Had Sanju Samson got a blazing 100 in 80 balls, you would have said well done Sanju! But that he came into bat in the 5th over & got his 100 in the 44th over & played to the team needs, seemingly against his nature, my admiration for Samson has grown considerably today!”

Even Samson stated that he felt immense relief breaching the three-figure mark.

“Feels emotional, going through the emotions now. Very happy to achieve this. Have been putting in a lot of work physically and mentally, happy to see the results go my way now,”

“They bowled well with the new ball, and the older ball was getting slower and more difficult to bat. So after KL got out, they had the momentum where Maharaj was bowling very well,” he added.
