powerful knock against South Africa in Durban, equaling a remarkable record held by <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/rohit-sharma\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\">Rohit Sharma<\/a>.<br \/>Samson\u2019s ten sixes matched Rohit\u2019s feat from his iconic 118-run innings against Sri Lanka in Indore in 2017, making Samson only the second Indian to hit that many sixes in a T20I innings.<br \/>This sensational 107-run knock, coming off just 50 balls, was packed with bold strokes that lit up the stadium and stunned the South African bowlers.<br \/>Samson\u2019s innings also marked his second consecutive T20I hundred, a milestone that makes him the first Indian to achieve back-to-back centuries in the shortest format.<\/p>\n<p>His innings also included seven 4s and a strike rate above 200, helping India post a competitive total of 202\/8.<br \/>The fireworks started early, and despite a few wickets falling around him, Samson held firm, dominating the bowlers and giving India a strong platform to defend.<br \/>South Africa won the toss and chose to bowl, likely underestimating the momentum Samson would bring.<br \/>His aggressive approach kept the South African attack on the defensive, with bowlers like Marco Jansen and <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/gerald-coetzee\"

T20Is, joining names like Gustav McKeon, Rilee Rossouw, and Phil Salt.<br \/>Additionally, Samson\u2019s century secured him a spot among the top Indian wicket-keepers in T20I history.<br \/>His three
