Samson's devastating hit in the 10th over off Tristan Stubbs sailed over the mid-wicket fence and struck a female fan on the face, leaving her injured and in tears during the fourth T20I in Johannesburg on Friday.

While Samson remained unbeaten on 109, Tilak Varma slammed his second consecutive T20I hundred (120*) in the fourth game against South Africa.

While Tilak smashed 10 maximums, Sanju tonked 9 during his stay in the middle. One of Sanju’s sixes went on to hit a spectator at the Wanderers in Johannesburg. The incident happened in the second ball of the 10th over when the wicketkeeper-batter slog-swept Tristian Stubbs’ tossed for a second consecutive six.

Sanju Samson immediately had his hand up to say sorry to the lady after his shot hit her on the face but she was left inconsolable.

Sanju Samson is on a six-hitting spree as he has smashed 8 maximums in this innings so far. One of his most exquisite shots came when he hit Tristan Stubbs for a six on the leg side. However, the unfortunate moment came when the six hit a female fan in the face.

On Friday Sanju Samson not only ensured that he opened his account but went to smash a century, his third in T20Is, and returned unbeaten on 109 off 56 deliveries.
