Sanju Samson led Chennai Super Kings to an 8-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals, scoring an unbeaten 87. He became the first IPL batter to achieve two hundred-plus partnerships against the same team in a single season.
Chennai Super Kings are back on track in the IPL, with their reliable opener Sanju Samson regaining form at just the right time as the team builds momentum. So far this season, Samson has scored two centuries and amassed 402 runs in 10 innings.
In his yesterday's match against Delhi Capitals, he smashed an unbeaten 87 off 52 balls, which helped CSK secure an 8-wicket win and he won the Player of the Match. He also scripted history and became the the first batter ever to be part of two hundred-plus partnerships against the Delhi Capitals in a single edition of the tournament.
Chennai Super Kings kept their playoff hopes alive with a dominant eight-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on May 5 in IPL 2026. After restricting DC to 155/7 on a sluggish surface, CSK chased the target comfortably in just 17.3 overs.
The Capitals struggled throughout their innings despite late resistance from Sameer Rizvi and Tristan Stubbs after a middle-order collapse left them reeling at 69/5. CSKās disciplined bowling attack, led by Akeal Hosein and Noor Ahmad, never allowed DC to build momentum.
In reply, Sanju Samson produced a composed unbeaten 87 off 52 balls, anchoring the chase with authority. Youngster Kartik Sharma provided excellent support as the duo stitched together an unbeaten century partnership of 114 runs to seal a comfortable win for CSK with 15 balls to spare. The defeat pushed Delhi closer to elimination, while CSK climbed back into playoff contention sitting in 5th position after a strong late-season.
