Indian T20 team captain Suryakumar Yadav is usually seen smiling. A smile can be seen on his face on the field during any match. But he looked very angry in the first T20 match against South Africa in Durban. He single-handedly faced 6.8 feet tall player Marco Johnson to defend the Indian team's wicketkeeper Sanju Samson. There was a heated argument between the two during the live match. Seeing the matter heating up, the umpires had to come to intervene.
The incident of argument between Suryakumar Yadav and Marco Johnson occurred during the 15th over of the second innings. Actually, Suryakumar Yadav threw from deep midwicket, which Sanju Samson came to collect. Yanson got angry after seeing him coming on the pitch and collecting the ball. He also complained about this. However, he himself had hindered him from catching the ball, due to which Samson was not happy. When Suryakumar Yadav saw him complaining, he immediately went to Johnson and a heated argument started between the two regarding this matter.

Seeing the matter becoming serious, the umpire standing at square leg ran there and started trying to calm the players. Then Suryakumar Yadav defended Samson by presenting his side. Ravi Bishnoi caught Marco Johnson in the 15th over. He was caught out by Pandya after scoring 12 runs in 8 balls.
Sanju Samson batted brilliantly in this match. He completed his half-century in just 27 balls and scored a century in the next 20 balls. Samson scored a total of 107 runs in 50 balls at a strike rate of 214, which included 7 fours and 10 sixes. With this he scored his second consecutive century. This was the second century of his T20 career. With this stormy century, Samson left MS Dhoni behind in terms of scoring more than 50 as a wicketkeeper in T20. As a wicketkeeper, Dhoni had scored 50+ scores twice in T20, whereas he has done this job thrice.
