One of Sanju Samson's sixes in the ongoing fourth T20I between India and South Africa at The Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg on Friday, November 15, hit a woman on her face. Samson was in the middle of a scintillating knock but the young woman didn't pay attention once, and she had to pay a painful price as the ball hit her on the face.
The incident took place off the second ball of the 10th over. Amid the carnage being caused by , Aiden Markram decided to bring on part-time off-spinner Tristan Stubbs. The youngster didn't have too much of a chance against the rampaging wicketkeeper-batter, as Samson welcomed him with a six over long-on, which took him to a sparkling half-century.
The following delivery saw Samson crouching a wee bit and smoking it over deep mid-wicket. After the ball hit the woman on the full, someone in the crowd passed her some ice to apply. Later in the over, the ball panned to the woman once again, and she was seen in tears.
