The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batter Sanju Samson impressed the supporters with a cracking century against Delhi Capitals (DC) in the 18th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. It was a wonderful knock, and he deserves a heavy amount of praise for it. After struggling in three games, Samson has finally proved everyone wrong.
In today's game, he started well by scoring boundaries in the power play, which gave a lot of confidence to Ruturaj Gaikwad, who was at the non-striker's end. However, he lost his wicket early while he was batting on 18 runs. After his dismissal, Samson and Ayush Mhatre made a 113-run partnership. Samson also scored a century and helped CSK score another 200+ runs in the tournament.

Sanju Samson's 'Thalaivya' celebration wins hearts
CSK's opener Sanju Samson slammed a brilliant century against DC in the IPL 2026, and the fans are happy. They have been waiting for this knock for a while now, since the batter failed to score runs in the previous games. Hitting 15 boundaries and three sixes, Samson went past his century in 52 balls, scoring a four off T. Natarajan in the 18th over. He went on to play some good shots throughout the innings.
This knock was important for the player and the team since CSK have not yet won a single match in the tournament. The ongoing match against DC is crucial for them and the captain, Gaikwad. The team's confidence will build with one win, and that will surely make a difference.
CSK scored 212 runs in the first innings, thanks to Samson and Mhatre. However, the bowling will be important for the Super Kings since DC have some of the best batters, including KL Rahul, David Miller, Pathum Nissanka, and more.
