During the first T20I match between India and South Africa in Durban, the Indian National Anthem stopped twice before the game started. This incident, likely due to a technical issue, left Indian players confused as they continued singing. The South African anthem did not experience any interruptions. The incident gained attention on social media, overshadowed by Indian player Sanju Samson's impressive performance, scoring a century in just 47 balls. Samson's achievement marked his second consecutive T20I hundred, making him the first Indian to accomplish this feat in the format. He joins three other players who have scored back-to-back hundreds in T20Is.
