South Africa left-arm seamer Marco Jansen stunned Sanju Samson, sending him packing for his second consecutive duck in the ongoing third T20I against India at the Supersport Park in Centurion. The right-handed batter faced only two balls before being castled by Jansen, who let out a roar after giving the Proteas their first breakthrough. In the process, he also became the first Indian batter to record 5 T20I ducks in a year.
The first delivery of the innings saw Jansen deliver one on Samson's hips and the 30-year-old was able to negotiate one easily. The dismissal ball saw the left-arm seamer's delivery keep low as Samson failed to keep his bat down on time as it eventually hit the off-stump.

The two consecutive ducks also comes after two successive centuries.
