Jaffer’s GIF best among uncountable memes to describe Sanju, Tilak’s mayhem

Sanju Samson and Tilak Varma made mockery of South Africa bowling as Team India hammered more than 280 runs in the fourth and final T20I against South Africa at the Wanderers, Johannesburg. Sanju Samson registered his third century in the last five T20I matches while Tilak Varma smashed back-to-back T20I tons, becoming just the second Indian to do so. As India posted 283/1 in the allotted twenty overs, former India batter Wasim Jaffer had the best reaction possible.
Sanju Samson’s unbeaten knock of 109 was studded with six fours and nine sixes while Tilak Varma’s knock of 120 included 9 fours and 10 sixes. The duo stitched together an unbeaten stand of 210 runs for the second wicket.
Former India batter Wasim Jaffer posted a GIF from video game EA Sports Cricket 07 and wrote, “283/1(20). Take a bow Sanju and Tilak. #SAvIND.”
