Adding to the praise, his wife Charulata Ramesh took to Instagram to share her admiration for her husband's brilliant century against South Africa.

Sanju Samson’s wife Charulatha Samson shared the post of the Rajasthan Royals franchise and wrote, “My favourite hero forever.” Samson became the first Indian to score two consecutive centuries in T20. Sanju Samson had to wait nine years for his first T20 International century, but he scored the second century in just 27 days.

By scoring the second century, Sanju Samson has made a place in the list of players like Suryakumar Yadav, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul. A total of 11 Indian batsmen have scored centuries in T20 International, out of which only four batsmen have been able to score a century twice.

Samson said, “If I spend some time at the crease, I have the ability to hit shots on spin and fast bowlers and I know that I can definitely contribute well to the team. I can win matches. This is also a reality. Of course, there have been a lot of ups and downs, but the upside is also really good. I kept telling myself this.”
