IND vs SA 2nd T20I Highlights: South Africa win by 3 wickets as Stubbs, Coetzee hold nerves

IND vs SA 2nd T20I Live score: India look to equal their best-ever winning streak in T20Is as they face South Africa in the second game in Gqeberha. Sanju Samson's special hundred helped India bag the first T20I in Durban and the reigning T20 World Cup champions would be eager to double their lead in Gqeberha.

Suryakumar Yadav has led India extremely well since taking the full-time T20I role after the retirement of Rohit Sharma from the format. South Africa have gone in the wrong direction ever since the T20 World Cup 2024 final, where they botched up a run-chase and lost to India. They were beaten 3-0 by West Indies and played a 1-1 draw against Ireland before a loss to India in the four-match T20I series opener. Follow for the latest match updates.

    You might have not forgotten that but to bring the context here, Sanju Samson did what no other Indian has ever done.

Now he sits on the threshold of becoming the first-ever player with three consecutive T20I tons.
