India's T20I Centurions: Sanju Samson Joins Elite List With 107 Against South Africa
Team India, the reigning T20 World Champions, is renowned for its powerful batting lineup. Players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, and Sanju Samson have consistently showcased their ability to dominate in T20I cricket. Their explosive style has often overwhelmed opposing teams.
Although Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have retired from T20Is after their 2024 World Cup victory in the Caribbean, Suryakumar Yadav continues to shine. As the current captain, he has set high standards with multiple centuries and is on track to be one of the greatest T20 batsmen.

Rohit Sharma remains India's top century-maker in T20Is with five hundreds. Suryakumar Yadav is closing in with four centuries in nearly half as many matches as Rohit. His performances are narrowing the gap between him and India's most prolific scorers.
Sanju Samson recently joined an elite group by scoring a rapid 40-ball century against Bangladesh on October 12. He further distinguished himself by becoming the first Indian to hit consecutive T20I centuries, scoring a 50-ball 107 against South Africa on November 8, 2024.
