Batters with hundreds in consecutive innings in T20Is
Sanju Samson was at his destructive best in the first T20I against South Africa, scoring a stunning 107 off just 50 balls. The match, which was held at Kingsmead in Durban on November 8, saw Samson smash his second successive T20I ton. Samson's blistering innings comprised of seven fours and 10 sixes. Here we look at the batters who hammered hundreds in consecutive T20I innings.
Gustav Mckeon
France batter Gustav Mckeon was the first-ever batter to score back-to-back centuries in T20Is. He accomplished the incredible feat in his second and third T20I outing. After a blistering debut (54-ball 76) against the Czech Republic, Mckeon scored a 61-ball 109 in his second match against Switzerland. He followed it up with a 53-ball 101 two days later against Norway.
Rilee Rossouw
South Africa's Rilee Rossouw became the first player from a Test-playing nation to score back-to-back T20I centuries. After a six-year-long absence from the T20I side, Rossouw made a sensational return, scoring 96 against England in his second game back. Meanwhile, he scored a stunning 100 off 48 deliveries against India in a bilateral match and followed it up with another hundred (109 off 56 balls) against Bangladesh in the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia .
Philip Salt
England's wicketkeeper-batter Philip Salt has established himself as one of the best T20 batters in the world. He proved his consistency by scoring back-to-back centuries during the West Indies T20Is in December 2023. With England down 0-2 in the series, Salt scored a brilliant 56-ball 109 to keep his side alive. He then scored another brilliant 119 off 57 balls against the same opponent.
Sanju Samson
Samson is the latest entrant in this elite club. After a batting order change in the recent home T20I series against Bangladesh, Samson scored a majestic 111 off 47 deliveries in the series finale. He carried on his brilliant form, scoring another century (107 off 50 balls) in the first T20I in South Africa. His explosive innings helped India win both the games comprehensively.
