India defeated South Africa by 135 runs in the fourth T20 match, won the series 3-1.

Sanju Samson's breathtakingly beautiful stroke-play was matched by Tilak Verma's brilliant brilliance as India powered his record-breaking twin centuries to a 135-run win over a sluggish South Africa in the fourth and final T20 International on Friday. Gave. India thus ended this year's T20I campaign with a T20 World Cup win and all bilateral series with a win percentage of 92. Samson's unbeaten 109 off 56 balls was complemented by Verma's unbeaten 120 off just 47 balls, putting India in an unbeaten position. 283 runs for 1 wicket in 20 overs, their highest score on foreign soil. In South Africa's run chase, Arshdeep Singh (3/20) swung the ball brilliantly under lights during the opening spell, reducing the hosts to 10 for 4 before eventually being bowled out for 148 in 18.2 overs. It's done.

Among the many records that were broken, the most special one is that of two Indian batsmen scoring centuries in the same T20 innings. Samson and Verma also made the highest partnership for India in T20 Internationals – 210 runs for the second wicket in just 93 balls.

Samson completed his century in 51 balls while Verma (41 balls) took 10 balls less.

Samson now has three T20 centuries to his name in the last five innings, including two zeroes.

It seems that talent and disappointment coexist for the Kerala player, who will surely cause quite a selection headache for Ajit Agarkar when Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant return to the Indian T20 squad.

For Verma, back-to-back T20I tons on South African soil will not only boost his stock, but it also speaks volumes about the team man captain Suryakumar Yadav is. Suryakumar decided to give up his favorite batting position, giving a chance to a young talent to blossom, showing what leadership is all about. Abhishek Sharma (36 runs off 18 balls) also deserves credit for increasing the lead with four big sixes in the powerplay.

On good batting tracks with genuine bounce, Indian batsmen hit a record 23 sixes as it was possible to hit them across the line by clearing one's front foot. Samson's nine maximums were one less than Verma's 10.

What only helped India was that the opposition's best fast bowler, Gerald Coetzee, was in trouble. The two medium pacers Andile Simelane (0/47 in 3 overs) and Lutho Sipamla (1/58 in 4 overs) looked like lambs to the slaughter. Indians hit 10 sixes from Simelane and Sipamla.

By the time Coetzee was brought in for his second spell by captain Aiden Markram, the damage had been done. The South African bowlers were so nervous that they bowled 17 wide balls in an attempt to stop the pace.

He didn't vary the pace and pitched it on length as Samson and Verma were serious, either hitting it inside out over extra cover or sometimes straight down the ground.

Even Keshav Maharaj and Tristan Stubbs were not punished because everything was there – cuts, pulls, slog sweeps, reverse sweeps. There was not a single corner of the field where the power of the strokes of both the Indians was not felt.

Actually, one of Samson's shots hit the cheek of a female spectator. The TV camera captured him writhing in great pain.

Samson was more powerful as he spun slightly towards the leg-stump and bowled length balls, while Reshmi Verma made fun of the spinners with overhead sweep shots, standing up and hitting them down the ground.

They slowed down as they approached their target but by then they had done enough to crush the Proteas.
