Young Indian batsman Tilak Verma scored his first T20 international century in the third and final T20 match against South Africa at Supersport Park in Centurion on Wednesday, October 13th. Tilak’s explosive innings helped him set several records.

Tilak Varma was the star for India in the third T20I against South Africa as they won the match by 11 runs. The elegant left-hander became the 12th Indian player to score a century in the shortest format.

Varma and Sharma put on 107 from 50 balls for the second wicket to lay the platform for the visitors as South Africa lacked discipline with the ball, conceding 10 wides and three no balls in the innings.

India survived a scare from big-hitting Marco Jansen to become the first team in five years to defend a total at the SuperSport Park in Centurion successfully. Tilak Varma's maiden T20I hundred gave India a record total of 219 on Wednesday,

Tilak Varma conceded pressure was mounting on him and Abhishek Sharma before the third T20I against South Africa, but he was a chuffed man after lifting the burden with his maiden international hundred here on Wednesday.

Tilak Varma’s hundred in the 3rd T20I was the second hundred by an Indian batter against South Africa in the ongoing series. Sanju Samson scored 107 in the first match.
