Tilak Verma scored a brilliant century in the third T20 match between India and South Africa at Centurion. He completed his century in 51 balls and scored an unbeaten 107 runs in 56 balls at a strike rate of 191.07. During this, Tilak also hit 8 fours and 7 sixes. After this brilliant inning, he had to face unbearable pain. The reason for this is the injury on his head. Actually, he was standing on the boundary during Team India's fielding. In the last over, a ball went to him in the air and while trying to catch it, his head hit the ground hard.

A painful 'accident' happened while saving the boundary

Defending a score of 219, the Indian team had to save 24 runs in the end and the ball was in the hands of Arshdeep Singh. On the first ball, he gave 1 run on leg bye. But on the very next ball, Marco Jonson, who was looking dangerous, played a great shot over the cover. Tilak Verma, who was fielding on the cover boundary, jumped and tried to save it from being taken for a six. In this process, he fell on the ground head first and his head hit the ground hard.
